Naming a section in View Sets..?

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have 10 sections that are saved in Navigator / View Sets that have not been titled as there were done. Now I right click on the the listed elevation to get to the RENAME and then delete and rename the section. However, that new name does not get saved.....and when I delete a doubled section...the entire Navigator box goes out and I must start all over again but to date I have not ben able to do either save a renamed section or delete one section...there must be a way (and I can not find it in the Reference Guide or on the Archiguide online)

Thanks Paul

Instead of using "Rename" go down one more to "Redefine...". and change the name there. I had similar problems using "Rename" in the past but it works now, but "Redefine..." always has worked for me to change the name.

I usually get the best results changing the Section name through the marker settings and not (ever!) changing the name in the View set.

If you are using the Title
Status of Section/Elevation View is always contained in the Title [i.e. Section (Autorebuild Model) ]. I believe Tom that you have stated elsewhere that you do not "trust" the PM Title types. I have not had a problem as of yet and, if the Title Type contains the " <DRAWINGNAME>" Auto Text this "Status of Section/Elevation View " text will display. I always change the Section Titles (Mostly changed within Template File) to at least delete this "Status of Section/Elevation View" text.
