This is a 2 part question

I'm trying to remember how to generate a section label and then refer this label to an existing view imported from a cad file. I have a water heater detail, (drafting view) already brought into a mechanical sheet. Now, when I generate a section tag on the floor plan, I want it to refer to that view.

Also, trying to remember how to shrink the section tag. It's way too large in at it's default size. see attachment.

Thank You

Found my answer in help. Needed to -
Click View menuNewSection, or on the View tab of the Design Bar, click Section.
On the Options Bar, select Reference other view, and select a section, callout of a section, or drafting view name from the drop-down menu next to it. If there are no existing views to reference, you can select <New Drafting View> to create a new drafting view; the reference section then references this new drafting view.
NoteIf a view from the menu list is on a sheet, the detail number and sheet number display next to the view. For example, if you select a drafting view to be referenced and it is on a sheet, its name displays as Drafting View: Drafting 1 (1/A101), where the values in parentheses represent the detail number and sheet number.
Sketch the section line.
