I see section views in 2D drawings have had automatic alignment for a couple of years now, but didn’t notice until I loaded an old project and couldn’t find a way to disable it. I attach the drawing as created, and as updated by the new version.

Yes this is a big problem an not only that I have complained about not being able to move the “Section A-A” callout to be off of the view this issue is basic Drafting 101. Can some one from Shapr3D please fix this stupid issue.

Thank you
