    Location of finish symbol for a cylindrical feature

    Default to no hidden lines in Section views only

    Is there a way to default no hidden lines for section views only? I want hidden lines as the default for all other views. I could not find anything in the Customer Defaults or Preferences specifically for section views. This is for NX 7.5. Thanks.
