Manually change the symbol of the cross-sectional label

In CAXA Draft, you can create section views from projection views linked to 3D models.

When a section view is created, a "label" is automatically assigned.

By default, the label uses alphabetical letters in sequence (A, B, C, ...).

However, if a section view is deleted partway through, the lettering continues from the last used letter, causing gaps in the label sequence.

The following is an example where it deleted  Section View B, then it was created a new section view afterward.

Instead of being labeled B, the new section view is automatically labeled C.
To set the label to B, it must be manually modified.

To restore the sequence or assign a custom label, use the [Manual Placement of Section Label] option when creating the section view, and enter your preferred label name.
