Place Named Boundary

Used to place one or more named boundaries and optionally create saved view(s) and automate dynamic views.

You can access the Place Named Boundary tool from the following:

Ribbon: Drawing > View > Named Boundaries
Ribbon: Modeling > View > Named Boundaries
Ribbon: Visualization > View > Named Boundaries
Selecting the Place Named Boundary icon in the dialog

Setting	Description
From Drawing Boundary	Lets you place a named boundary from the drawing boundary.
By Element	Lets you place a named boundary from an existing element.
By 2 Points	Lets you place a named boundary by interactively defining a rectangular element with two data points.
By Polygon	Lets you place a named boundary by interactively defining vertices of a polygon with data points. The polygon can be closed by entering a data point at the start point, or by clicking the Close button.
By Length	Lets you place named boundaries along a path by creating a named boundary element.
Drawing Boundary	(Available only when From Drawing Boundary is selected) Selects the drawing boundary to be used for placing the named boundary. `NAMEDBOUNDARY` `SET` `ARRAY` `DRAWINGBOUNDARY`
Name	Enter name for the named boundary. `NAMEDBOUNDARY` `SET` `ARRAY` `NAME`
Description	Enter brief description for the named boundary. `NAMEDBOUNDARY` `SET` `ARRAY` `DESCRIPTION`
Detail Scale	Sets the scale at which the named boundary will be placed.
Place a single named boundary	Lets you place a single named boundary.
Place a rectangular array of named boundaries	Lets you place a rectangular array of named boundaries.
Place an array of named boundaries along a path	Lets you place an array of named boundaries along a path.
Group	Selects the named boundary group. You can also create a new group by selecting New from the drop-down.
Name	Enter name of the new group.
Description	Enter brief description for the new group.
Active Angle	Sets the angle, in degrees, at which named boundary is placed.
Rows	Sets the number of rows in which you want the named boundaries to be placed. `NAMEDBOUNDARY` `SET` `ARRAY` `NUMBEROFROWS`
Columns	Sets the number of columns in which you want the named boundaries to be placed. `NAMEDBOUNDARY` `SET` `ARRAY` `NUMBEROFCOLS`
Row Overlap	Sets the overlap between two rows. Positive values set the overlap and negative values set the spacing or gap between the rows. If you use the Measure Distance tool next to the field, the measured distance displays in the Row Overlap field. `NAMEDBOUNDARY` `SET` `ARRAY` `ROWSPACING`
Column Overlap	Sets the overlap between two columns. Positive values set the overlap and negative values set the spacing or gap between the columns. If you use the Measure Distance tool next to the field, the measured distance displays in the Column Overlap field. `NAMEDBOUNDARY` `SET` `ARRAY` `COLSPACING`
Measure Distance	Measures the distance between two points. Click the icon, then define the start point and end point to measure the distance between the two points. The distance displays in the respective field.
Length	(Available only when By Length is selected) Sets the length, along the path element, of the named boundary element. Also determines the location, along the path, of subsequent boundary elements. If you use the Measure Distance tool next to the field, the measured distance displays in the Length field.
Left Offset	(Available only when By Length is selected) Sets the distance from left of the path. If you use the Measure Distance tool next to the field, the measured distance displays in the Left Offset field.
Right Offset	(Available only when By Length is selected) Sets the distance from right of the path. If you use the Measure Distance tool next to the field, the measured distance displays in the Right Offset field.
Overlap	(Available only when By Length is selected) Sets the total overlap with the adjacent named boundaries. If you use the Measure Distance tool next to the field, the measured distance displays in the Overlap field.
Boundary Chords	(Available only when By Length is selected) Sets the number of chords in a named boundary. More the chords, better is the stroking of the named boundary in a curve.
Create Drawing	If on, the Create Drawing dialog opens after creating the named boundary. This dialog is used for automating dynamic views.
