How to turn off cross section callouts for certain layer sets?

I'm creating some shelving details for this projecct that I'm working on and I'm using the cross section function. I like this feature because I can just modify the shelving and dimension it and without having to do it a line at a time like with a CAD detail. The problem that I'm experiencing is that the section callout is showing up on all my layer sets even if I have the layer which is "Camera" turned off for that layer set. This is a problem because it is cluttering up my electrical layer set. Is there a way turn these off for certain layer sets or do I have to just create a CAD Detail from the view? I'm atttaching some screenshots to illustrate. Also I am using X7.

Any help would  be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Try turning off the layer "Cameras, Cross Section & Elevation"

In this pic it looks like the camera view is active (open), and that you have "Always Display Active Cameras" checked in your 3D View defaults.

 

That will cause the callout for any open camera to always appear, even if the layer is off, until the camera view is closed.

 

Not sure where it is in X7 (been awhile) but look for a Default setting something like this:

...and uncheck it, if you don't want to see open cameras in views with their layer off.

Chrisb,

You were 100% correct. I needed to turn of that setting. It is labeled a little different in x7 but I found it under the General Camera default settings.
