bring back section lines
bring back section lines
(OP)
Ok, this one sounds too easy, but I can't find it anywhere. Previously I turned off the section lines in a view. I'm talking about the big arrows and letters you get when you create a section view. Now I want to display those arrows and letters, but I can't figure out how to turn them back on. I've looked in the Style menu for both the section view itself as well as it'a parent view where the arrows should be but can't find any way to bring them back. I got my View Label back, but no arrows. Am I screwed? Do I have to delete my section view and recreate it? This is NX5.

I can't find the option to make the section lines invisible in NX6 at all.

Seems like a roundabout way of doing it but at least it works.

Preferences -> Section Line...
and when the dialog comes up select the 'Select Section View' button near the bottom of the dialog and then on the screen select the actual 'section view'. You can now go back to the 'Display' option and set it to what you desire.
What you should have probably done is simply 'Hide' the section arrows as that's a lot easier to change.
For NX 6, we appear to have made it easier for you to avoid this situation by removing the 'No Display' option altogether thus forcing you to use 'Hide' instead.
