Change Detail View Letter Designation

engineeringYSRYL — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 14:04:14 GMT

Is there a way to change the letter designation of a detail view? I can change the larger scale view label, but the letter pointing to the circle I can't change.

Dumb work-around: I needed to create a separate drawing file for sheet 3 of my 3-sheet drawing (another work-around). The first drawing file with sheets 1 & 2 had a detail view "A". When I created another detail view on sheet 3, which was in a separate drawing file, Fusion 360 defaulted to calling it view "A" also. So, I created a dummy detail view I didn't need, which became view "A". Then, I created the detail view I actually needed, which became view "B". Finally, I deleted dummy detail view "A" on sheet 3, and view "B" retained its letter designator. Not pretty, but that's true with a lot of things Fusion 360, especially when it comes to drawings. (AWS welding symbols anyone?)

Yeah, in the days since I did the same. Also used a similar idea to put a detail view on a separate page. Thanks.

I am not sure how to get more attention on this from the developers but I would like to resurface this issue to be actually fixed instead of making workarounds.

It shouldn't take very long for the dev's to add the ability to double click the letter for it to be renamed. No reason it shouldn't already be this way.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous - we addressed this in the June release. You can rename your detail and section views from the Drawing View dialog (right click to edit the view).
