Section View in Draft Mode

Hi everybody,

Can anybody help me to solve this problem.
When a cutting plane is created in different levels,the change in level is shown as a thick line in the section view. Is there any way to change this default line to other type of lines like chain line. I know I can change the styles in the format command,but specifically how to change this cutting plane problem?

Thanks

RE: Section View in Draft Mode

Try this.  Go into your template file.  Insert a part file.  Add a cutting plane, changing the line width or type to your preference.  Once created delete the part and save your template.  Next time you create a cutting plane it will default to that style.

There may be an easier way, but this works and was the fastest solution I have.

I'll check further into it.
