Change view identifier to Number

[RonaldVanHam8261]

Hello everyone,

Although I'm already an engineer for about 22 years, I have to admit that I'm visiting this forum for the first time and that I'm relatively new with Inventor 2020 as well.

So excuse me if I'm asking something that maybe has been explained a million times already.

I have installed the program and even managed to make the necessary templates to start the job.

But now I also want to set-up the company drawing-style and I was wondering if it's possible to change the view identifier for sections into Numbers instead of Letters.

Now sections are identified as A-A and so on, but because I normally have to make a lot of sections in my assemblies, I would like to use numbers and start with 1-1.

For detail and Auxiliary views, on the other hand, I would like to keep the standard letters as a label. 

Can someone please tell me if this is possible, and how to do it.

Thanks in advance. 

Best regards.

Ronald.

It is more of a manual process however the view label can be changed at any time when placing or editing a view.

If you are looking to have these values set by default you would want to make sure to apply them to your project template.
