How do you change the line type used in a shortened section view?

How do you change the line type used in a shortened section view?

(OP)
When I take short section views of a long part, Catia will cut the part with a phantom line. We need to use a break line. Is there a way to change the line type catia uses as a break line for a shortened section cut/view?

RE: How do you change the line type used in a shortened section view?

(OP)
Already looked there. Did not find a variable that controls the line type in the resulting section view that shows a break in the part where the end of the section arrow is in the generating view. I have found a work around though. Use a full depth breakout in the generating view just inside the section arrow, apply it to the resulting view, and  then remove the breakout from the original view. This is a lot of steps just to get an updateable break-line in a short section view.
