Drawing view naming irritation 1

[maxh3]

When creating section and detail views Solidworks automatically names the view with the next letter in the alphabet after the last view it named. However, if I delete one of the views, Solidworks doesn't "recycle" that name, so every time I create a view from then on I have to manually rename it if I don't want a gap in the letters. This is kind of irritating. Does this bother anyone else?

What version of SolidWOrks are you using?

SW2012 has a setting to control this behavior under System Options > Drawings. Near the bottom of that tab.

You can adjust this in the sheet properties, under "Next view label".

Excellent, thanks! That sure was an easy fix.

It's 'after the fact' I think, but you can click the button 'Manual View Label' - and name it whatever you want.
