the cut symbols are stored under the symbols folder inside Advance steel 2018/9.
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance Steel 2019\GBR\Shared\Support\Symbols
the file is a .dwg file that can be edit for basic changes, make sure you use the same token reference or the text as this is the reference used to transfer the Section reference A/B/C etc.
the actual symbols link to AS is also controlled by the MT Default setting, so you can create a different one and set that in the defaults, there are different ones for up and down references
the operation of this is functional, there already request for improvement, if you would wish to vote for thoese in the idea station.
hope this helps out.

Yes you can modify it by changing CutSymbolDown.dwg and CutSymbolUp.dwg in Symbol Folder.Please save original files in seperate Folder.I use the same symbol format that you want to use
When I tried it the first time I wasn't getting the symbol or the cut view, but after a bit of trial and error it works fine.
