Use the Toolspace
Settings tree to create, copy, edit, or delete a section view style.
Create an entirely new style, or create a new style by copying an existing style. Then change its properties to suit your requirements. Use the Section View Style dialog box tabs to specify the main properties.
Note: Before editing an existing section view style to change its properties, remember that any changes you make will apply to all section views that use the style. To change the style of some section views, but not all, consider creating a new style.
- Section view styles control the format of the graph on which the sections are displayed, the section view direction, the section view title, and the annotations on the axes. For more information, see To Work With Section View Styles.
- Label styles control the format of labels for offset elevations at any point in a section view and depth/gradient between any two selected points in a section view. For more information, see About Section Labels.
- Band styles control the format of section bands, which can appear above and/or below the section view.
For convenience, define a group of band styles as a band set. The entire set of band styles can then be applied to a section view with a single step, rather than applying each band style separately. For more information, see To Add Section View Bands.
- Projection styles control the appearance of AutoCAD point, solid, polyline, and block objects projected into profile views or section views. For more information, see About Projection and Crossing Styles for Section Views.
- Group plot styles control the layout of multiple section views. They also control the spacing between sheets. For more information, see To Work With Section View Styles.
- Sheet styles control the way a cross section sheet, which contains multiple section views, is displayed. They also specify the individual plot area and visibility of sheet components. Sheet styles are maintained for backward compatibility with earlier releases. Instead, production-ready section layout in Autodesk Civil 3D 2024 is now controlled using a drawing template during the creation of multiple section views. For more information, see To Create Section Views.
