Section lines auto number with letters. Is there any control over this? I use letters in one direction and numbers in the other direction. The auto numbering also seems to be a problem when you insert a new section line between two existing ones. I thought I could just create my own section lines which would look like I want but can't see a way to have an object appear in all plan views like section line will.

I use my own symbols & lines and place them all on their own layer. I can set that layer to show up in whatever mode I want. I don't like the way SP does section lines at all. I place the SP section lines and then turn off visibility once I have them where I want. Then my lines and symbols show up. Only problem is I have to copy and paste to other drawings in the model stack. And, I have to remember to change at each drawing if I make a change.

I thought about your method and was hoping for a method which doesn't require attending to all plan views if there is a change. Too bad you can't give an object the visibility properties of a section line which seems to be the only object capable of appearing in all plan views.

Yep, would be nice if we could do that or just have more control over such things like section lines.
