Edit SECTIONVIEWSTYLE dictionary
« on: December 06, 2022, 03:05:00 PM »
Hi

I would like to edit the way the section view is tagged. Currently it is tagged as Section B-B \n Scale 1:30. I would like it presented as B-B(1:30). Overwriting the view does not help because after a ViewUpdate the tag gets reset back to the default. So I have learnt that it needs to be done using LISP. Sadly this is stored somewhere in the dictionary and I have never worked with dictionaries before.

So here's hoping someone is able to help with this code. I am working on BricsCAD but I think it might be the same for AutoCAD Mechanical too.

Regards,

I don't know what it is in BriycsCAD, but in AutoCAD Mechanical - Look in "Options" > "AM:Standards" > "Section View (in list)" > "<double click current Style>"

Thanks for the response. Interesting to note the label options are amiable in AutoCAD, they seem to be missing in BricsCAD

Any suggestion on how to do this programatically
