Pro/DETAIL question: Want "SEE VIEW" instead of "SEE DETAIL" note.

[CM10]

The standard note nomenclature for a detailed view is "DETAIL". I would like all my "details" to be "VIEWS", because that's what our drafting standard says we should do. Now, this means I have to manually change the word twice for every view, once on the leader to the circle, and again on the note for the view itself. I was unable to find a config.pro option that would allow me to change what it actually says, and I was also unable to get the .dtl file option "detail_circle_note_text" to have any effect. I thought changing that setting from "DEFAULT" to "VIEW" would do the trick, but no. It's SUPPOSED to work from what the worthless "help" link says, but doesn't.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Well, "detail_circle_note_text" does work, but only takes effect on new detail views created after the setting change. Also, it does not change the note under the view, so it still says "DETAIL X" no matter what you do. In addition, since the .dtl file (Drawing Otions) is unique to every dwg, you have to change that setting on all old dwgs, which, again will only affect the new views. It's still a manual change. Best thing is to change that setting in the .dtl file that gets loaded, and it'll affect the new dwgs. If I figure out how to fix the actual view note, I'll post.
