Section Name Change

[DrewS]

In creating sections in drawing creation, a section name is required (A, B or whatever). My problem is sometimes I create a section incorrectly or later decide to delete it, then I can not use that section name again (such as SECTION A), pro/e has assigned that name to something. How can I delete the section name from the file so it can be reused so I can have a reasonable drawing with views labeled A through Z? Thanks for your help.

Hello,

May I suggest you create the sections required in the model.

Can you not delete the sections from the model? X-Section --> Delete (chooose name)?

You can rename an 'unused' section to OLD_A, OLD_B etc.

Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention I am using Wildfire.

Thanks onlyadrafter, that's the ticket. Just didn't know where to find that command.

We also create sections in the model versus the drawing.

The conflict I have is having the same name used often. The datum and section can not be A. We name the section datum plane AA and the GD&T datum plane A.

I haven't ever created sections in model mode. Seems the problem is keeping track of section names, especially (as in my case) when there are many parts in one multi-sheet drawing (vs one part per drawing). So far I am having good results in creating sections in drawing mode. Thanks for the help and advice.
