Time after time, I see people ask if there is a quick and easy way to setup a new library and change the edge trim for sheet stock Materials. You have to do one at a time and if the boss says "change it" you cringe. Can we outfit the shipping library with a default from the material prompts tab that allows a user to change the sheet trim with one value? Of course, any customized sheets would not necessarily apply.How can i get an item number to auto populate in a plan section view?

Then when i draw a 2d plan section view, the item symbol block appears but has 0.00 for the item number.
