Hi,

One of my colleages came across some Solidworks drawings where labels of section views are missing. Apparently, they were removed (accidentally?) by authors of the documents. Is there a way to restore these labels other than recreating the section views again?

Best regards,
 
Try selecting the view, then go to the feature tree area and give it a new letter. See if this gives it a new label. Sometimes this works for me.

Hi, Chris:

I tried, but it does not work.

Best regards,

Chris's solution definitely works 'some' of the time. Fortunately, when it doesn't work, I don't mind re-doing it (it's never not worked in more than 2 instances). But, but... I'm hoping for a real solution as well.
 
Hi, Nella95:

For simple parts or assemblies, it is not a big deal to recrate section views. But for section views where there are lots of dimensions, GD&T, and notes, I am also hoping for a real solution.

Best regards,
 
Hi, Matt:

Thanks for sharing the macro!

But labels this macro creates are fake. I have been trying to minize "fake" stuffs on SW documents.

Thanks!
