Use this dialog box to view and change section view-related settings.
This topic documents settings in all section view-related Edit Settings dialog boxes (drawing-level, feature-level, and command-level).
For general information about drawing, feature, and command settings and their interaction, see About Autodesk Civil 3D Settings.
For information about drawing-level ambient settings, see Ambient Settings Tab (Drawing Settings Dialog Box).

Specifies the default style for labels on projected objects. Click in the Value column, and click to select a style in the Section Projection Label Style dialog box.
Specifies the default style for labels on crossings. Click in the Value column, and click to select a style in the Section Crossing Label Style dialog box.
Use these settings to specify the template for naming the section view and the layouts created with the Create Section Sheets command.
Specifies the default section view name template.
The default format is <[Section View Station (Uft|FS|P2|RN|Sn|OF|AP|B2|TP|EN|W0|DZY)]> (<[Next Counter(CP)]>).
The Section View Station name is followed by a number of parameters that define how the text is displayed:
For example, a section view name, using the above defaults and following the “rules” of the parameters, could look like this:
2+50.00 (2)
Click in the Value column, and click to make changes in the Name Template dialog box.
Specifies the default name template that is used to name layouts that are created with the Create Section Sheets command.
Use these settings to establish the defaults assigned for section view creation:
Specifies whether an offset range is set for the creation of a section view.
Specifies whether the default section view height is set for the creation of a section view.
Specifies how the elevation range of the section group is set:
When you move the cursor over these symbols, tooltips are displayed to inform you to confirm the actual value of the label in the source drawing.
For a data referenced corridor, the following rules determine whether the corridor points for a particular section are considered to be interpolated:
Sample Line | Interpolated |
---|---|
A straight sample line on the data referenced corridor in the host drawing is at the same station as a corridor assembly station in the source drawing. | No
Note: Labels for these points are not affected by the
Add Labels to Points Interpolated from DREF Corridors setting.
|
A straight sample line on the data referenced corridor in the host drawing does not match a corresponding corridor assembly station in the source drawing. | Yes
Note: Labels for these interpolated points can be displayed by changing the
Add Labels to Points Interpolated from DREF Corridors setting to
On.
|
A skewed sample line on the data referenced corridor in the host drawing is at the same station as a corridor assembly station in the source drawing. | No
Note: Labels for these points are not affected by the
Add Labels to Points Interpolated from DREF Corridors setting.
|
For more information about labeling corridor points, see To Label Corridor Point Codes in Section View.
Use these settings to specify the default placement of labels for objects projected to section views:
Specifies whether the default anchor option will be Fixed, Above, Below, Graph View Top, or Graph View Bottom.
Specifies the default value for anchor elevation. Enter a value or click and select an elevation in the drawing area.
Specifies the default value for anchor plot height (in paper space units). Enter a value or retain the existing default value.
The Dimension Anchor Plot Height Value for Projections option controls the leader line height when the Dimension option is used for either the start or end anchor point in the projection or crossing label style.
Specifies the distance within which an object must be from a sample line to be displayed as a crossing.
For example, if this value is set to 1 foot, an object's centroid grip can be within one foot of the sample line and still be displayed as a crossing in a section view.
If this value is set to zero, the object's centroid grip must be exactly on the sample line in order to be displayed as a crossing in a section view.
The maximum value that you can specify for this setting is 15 feet or 5 meters.
Use these settings to specify defaults for creating tables with section views.
Specifies whether a table is split into two or more sections after a specified maximum number of rows has been met.
Specifies the maximum number of rows to include per section. If the number of data rows exceeds the specified maximum, the table is split into sections, and they are displayed either side by side (left to right), or stacked vertically.
Specifies the maximum number of sections to include in each stack.
Specifies the spacing between tables.
Specifies the style for a total volume table. Click in the Value column, and click to select a style in the Total Volume Table Style dialog box.
Specifies the styles for a material volume table. Click in the Value column, and click to select a style in the Material Volume Table Style dialog box.
Specifies the horizontal offset of the table.
Specifies the vertical offset of the table.
Specifies the direction in which the table tiles (across or down).
Specifies the section view anchor (Top/Middle/Bottom, Left/Center/Right).
Specifies the location of the table anchor (Top/Middle/Bottom, Left/Center/Right).
Specifies whether the layout of the tables will be horizontal or vertical, in relation to the section view.
Use these settings to specify defaults for creating multiple section views.
Specifies whether a station range is set for the creation of multiple section views.
Specifies the default height for section views. Enter a height in the Value column or click and select a height in the drawing area.
Specifies the default placement option for the section views.
Drafting elements that are added within or crossing section view drafting buffers are bound with the section views, and are moved with the section views if they are moved.
For more information, see About Section View Drafting Buffers.
Use the following settings to specify defaults for the drafting buffer margins when creating section views.
Specifies the amount of space for the drafting buffer above and below the section view grid.
Specifies the amount of space for the drafting buffer to the right and the left of the section view grid.
Specifies whether you create a new sheet set for any new sheets, or whether you add to an existing sheet set.
Specifies the default projection rule when the Project Objects To Multiple Section Views dialog box is displayed.
Specifies the default distance percentage before the sample line.
Specifies the default distance percentage after the sample line.
Specifies the default distance before the sample line.
Specifies the default distance after the sample line.
