Does anybody know what settings (dtl/config/format file) controls the format used for detail view notations in a drawing?

I have attached two images one from a user's PC with the notation we use and one from a user's PC where the notation is very different.

We had a manager one time demand no scales displayed on the drawings so we changed the scale note size to .001. You still get the SECTION A-A part but the scale note is just a little dot. Horrible work-around but it met the demand.

That manager has since left. Thankfully.

I don’t know of any way to change/eliminate the view/scale note automatically, but you can certainly delete it. Just pick on the note and hit ‘Delete’.

I submitted a Product Enhancement Request to allow the view_note option to match the detail_circle_note_text. So now we need votes to move it up the ladder for consideration. I know this seems trivial but I'm tired of having to change the text every time I create a detailed view. It creates a needless opportunity for a checker comment if I forget to change it.

Perhaps you should look at it this way. It's the checkers job to find problems. If they don't find something wrong, they will nit-pick just so they can mark something up.

This give them a bone they can go after, and they will be satisfied with that.

I see this in all kinds of government oversight jobs. It's their job to find problems, sometimes it's better to have a typo or some other simple obvious problem, so they don't start nit-picking other things that may add up to lots of work.

Sounds like we need a new config.pro setting:

obvious_error (yes/no)
Adds large text spelling error text to face of the drawing.

That'll do it!

I am not sure exactly what you are asking for. I can tell you that the view
name text CAN be edited to add information under it.

I tried that post and it said something like "the post is not valid."
