This is a double question about Section Cuts.
1) is there a way to rejoin or lock the adjustment size box back to the symbol. Below you can see I've circled items in question.
2) What determines the depth of a section cut when you first create them. Sometimes they are only a few feet other times they go way out past the project. Is there a way to control that?
Thank you

Hello Scott,
Currently there is not a way to reset the view extents exactly to the section symbol. This is determined from your two pick points when the section is created. Are you trying to get it exact? You can adjust the view crop region to be very close.
The other issue about the extents of the view when created. The section extents is determined by the 3D extents of the model.
This is an area of improvement that has been logged for future work.
Hi Scott, I was able to find a workaround to your question about resetting the section crop back match the section annotation object.
Although there is not a way to automatically do this, you can use this workaround.
In plan view, cycle each of the section so either the tail or nothing is displayed at both ends
Place reference planes at each end of the section line
Activate the section and Edit the Crop Region
Select Crop region|Ribbon|Edit Crop
Use Align to align the sketch line to the reference planes
Finish Sketch mode
Finally, back in the plan view, make your section head/tail appear as desired.
I've attached a video URL to show this method.
