The #Internal string appears in the object part mark as a temporary number for the numbering method you've chose : "With drawing number", as part of its mechanism. The workflow in this case is the following :
- You first run a numbering on the new model. All the objects will get part marks with the #Internal text.
- Then you run main part numbering, and single part numbering. At this point assemblies will be positioned on drawings that have a drawing number, and if the processes place more then one drawing per sheet - then the objects will also have a counter showing their position on the sheet.
- You re-number the model with the same method. All the objects will now loose their #Internal mark and get a proper part mark, based on the drawing they are placed plus the counter value to differentiate elements placed on the same drawing.
- After re-number, you need to check document manager to see if drawings require update in label, to match their new marks, and do it.

Development drawings can be created only from regular sections like RHS, CHS or folded beams, and not from User sections. So, if you need a specific shape modeled to which you need a development drawing, we recommand you to use the Folded Beam tool.

If the drawings do not get update, then the symbols will remain at their place. For the Advance Steel 2010 version there is no workaround to avoid this from happening, and the symbols will always get moved. If you want to avoid this we recommend you installing a new version, where the issue was fixed.

An improvment was made in Advance Steel to keep the cut symbol changed position during update in Advance Steel 2012, so in your 2010 version this issue is still present.

To show the unfolded drawing for the folded plate / folded beam you need to use a Develoment drawing styles. Those can be found in Drawing Style Manager, ussualy in the Single Part category (like in the attached picture)

The revision clouds can be removed either manually for each object already marked (option to turn them off is found in the detailed object properties dialog / Revision tab), or by turning off the Revision control default value from GAM / Defaults / Revision Control / Enable revision control.

The fit text option inside the Dimension Style Manager is not taken into consideration by the Advance Steel dimension lines. The text will always be created inside the dimension , between the extension lines, except the case where there is no room - when the text will be moved outside and recieve a leader line if configured. This behaviour is correct, and currently can't be modified for the AS automatic or dimension lines.

The inch mark associated to an Advance Steel dimension line can be turned off and on via a default value found in GAM /Defaults called : "Display of inch symbol". In your case, turn it on and then update the drawings for the modification to be considered.

If by section lines you reffer to the cut symbol position (the arrow cut symbol with the name of it attached), then those symbols should not move around during update, and keep their position (as long as their new position is on the same line as the cut direction).

If you reffer to the manual dimensions : then those normally do not move either. But to further investigation your situation, we'll need the model and the drawing which contains those dimension lines that change position. Also mention the Advance Steel version used.

As a workaround you can try to set the following default on Off before updating the drawings : Erase incorrect manual dimension points on update, from GAM / Defaults / Drawing - Dimensioning / General
