Hello,

I would like to translate the word "Section" in the cross section notation to different language in the drawing.

The original name for section is "Section A-A" but I wish the name "Somethink_else A-A".

Can anybody help me?

THX, Thomas
 
Select the notation, right click on it and choose Properties
Modify the line on Text tab
{0:SECTION }{1:&xsec_name}
to
{0:Somethink_else }{1:&xsec_name}

That's it.

P.S.
To eliminate the word SECTION completely use Drawing Setup option "view_note" set to "std_din". This will have effect when creating new section views, existing views are not updated.
 
At first thank you "eki" but my wish is to change the word "Section" completely and not to eliminate it. If I eliminate the word "Section", than I must everytime add my text before cross-section words ("Myword A-A").

THX, Thomas
 
OK, you are looking for a permanent setting to replace the word "SECTION". Drawing setup does not give that option. Perhaps there is a trick to do this (editing related files?) but I do not know.
