Section Tag - changing both head & tail

Hi there!

I'm browsing and browsing and still can't find the way.

I want to change the whole Section Tag, not just the Head or the Tail. I need one set of Head&Tail for vertical and one set Head&Tail for horizontal respresentation. How do I do this? Where can I change this Section Tag settings? 😑

Further modifications?

These section head and section tail are loadable families and can be found in your family browser. You could edit them to your liking

  • if you want to change to a custom symbol and Label , then go (in Project Browser) to Families:

  • select the Family you want to edit : Right click and choose Edit:

  • The Family Editor opens , and you are able now to modify either Symbol or Label ...or both of them as you like
