SECTION LINE WITHOUT VIEW

SECTION LINE WITHOUT VIEW

SECTION LINE WITHOUT VIEW

(OP)
Working in NX9 and creating additional section lines without a view. Reason is to show the section line in numerous locations to aid in assembly interpretation. Of course when adding the section line the label with the arrows changes to the next allowable letter. I want the label to be the same letter in numerous locations. I know how to work around it copy and pasting the code text and editing it in the next section line and it remains associative to the view so if the letter needs to change prior to drawing release the view label and the section line labels automatically update.

For example my first section line is labeled M-M, the next one I create is N-N and I will change it to M-M with the code used to create the M-M label. my question and problem is that the next label that is created is not N-N but P-P or the next unused letter. I want P-P to change to N-N without manipulating the code especially if I want a section line with a section view.

Since NX allows you to add a labeled section line without a view is there some way to tell NX that there is no view N-N so it will label the section line M-M instead of N-N. Of course when attempting to change a section line label that is already used it says "letter already used"
Any thoughts

I hope this make sense to someone out there, I may have been to wordy explaining the issue.
