  1. In the Drawing workflow, on the View tab, in the Named Boundaries group, select Place Named Boundary.

  2. In the Place Named Boundary tool settings window make the following settings:
    1. Select By Polygon.

    2. Enter name and optionally description for the named boundary.
    3. (Optional) From the Detail Scale drop-down list, set the scale at which the named boundary is to be placed.
    4. Select Place a single named boundary.

    5. (Optional) From the Group drop-down list, select the group.
    6. Turn off Create Drawing check box.
      Note: If the Create Drawing check box is turned on, the Create Drawing dialog opens for creating a saved view and automating dynamic views.
    7. (Optional) From the Group drop-down list, select the group.
    8. Turn off Create Drawing check box.
      Note: If the Create Drawing check box is turned on, the Create Drawing dialog opens for creating a saved view and automating dynamic views.
  3. Enter data points to define vertices of the polygon.
  4. Enter a data point to place the named boundary.
Note: When you create a saved view from a named boundary, the saved view's orientation is same as AccuDraw's orientation. If AccuDraw is off and if the saved view is placed in a sheet model, the sheet model's orientation is used; else the saved view uses the view's orientation.
