Show 'Status of Section/Elevation View' in Info Box

It would be nice to be able to select a section marker & view/change the Drawing/Auto Rebuild modes at the info box rather than have to open the Selection Settings dialog box (an extra step). Thanks for your consideration.

You already can... the Rebuild settings are there.... I think I may have moved them further up in my Work Environment. I want to say they were all the way at the bottom by default.

Tom,
Thanks so much. As it turns out, my Info Dialog box was not large enough to show that item, and I did not initially notice it listed in the Work Environment-Info Box-Section/Elevation Tool Settings. Maybe there should be a scroll bar or indicator within the Info Box that shows that there are additional settings available, but not shown on screen. Do you think I should remove this topic? Thanks again.

i have mixed feelings about that - working on a laptop screen (still!) a scroll bar takes up some valuable real estate, but i do see your point. you know that the info box scrolls with the scroll wheel though?

no - leave it for anybody else searching for a similar issue. a moderator could move it to a different place and remove the poll though . . . ?
