To Edit Section Settings

You can change the default style and name format settings for sections. Settings are handled in a standard way throughout Autodesk Civil 3D via the Settings tree at three levels: drawing, feature and command.

To establish default settings for all sections, in the Settings tree, right-click the Section collection.

The default styles and name format settings for sections are described in this topic. Drawing ambient settings are described in Ambient Settings Tab (Drawing Settings Dialog Box).

Note: Overrides to the drawing ambient settings at the Section collection level affect only the specified level. The drawing level settings are not changed.

1. In Toolspace, in the Settings tree, right-click the Section collection. Click Edit Feature Settings.

   In the Edit Feature Settings - Section dialog box, note that appears next to the settings for default styles and the default name format, marking them as specific to sections.

2. Expand the default styles and the default name format to see the current settings.
3. In the Value column, click the entry you want to change.
4. Click to open a dialog box. Modify the value.
5. In the Edit Feature Settings - Section dialog box, click OK.
