Sections names

Hi,

 

In the drawings standards, section names are: A, B, C, and so on.. (Except for the letters I, O, J, ...)
Asking to set the section names automatically A, B, C, instead of XSEC0001, XSEC0002, ....?

 

If this is important to anyone names such :XSEC0001, XSEC0002, please give us the option to configure it.

Section views are many times created during development to "see" into the part, verify clearances...  In this instance using up a letter is not justified.

 

Letters are also used in naming detail and auxiliary views.  The same letter should not be used in naming multiple views.  Our internal standard also specifies that we not skip letters (Except for the letters I, O, J, ...)

 

I find naming the cross sections as needed to be the best method.
