Hi,
is there any way to not see (or to not generate) the boundaries in the details or working sheets?
Thanks.

...mmmm.
Is there any way to resize the detail polygon in order to take into consideration a wider area of the drawing?

Yes - but like modifying a variety of other things, not immediately obvious.

You must enable viewing "Marker Range" in the onscreen viewing options. View > Onscreen View Options > Marker Range. This will display a bounding rectangle around the detail bubble, and you can use all pet palette polygon editing tools there.

I typically have the standard toolbar for Onscreen View Options visible so that I can just click a button when I need to turn this on/off for editing.

Cheers,
Karl

When you create a new Detail or Worksheet viewpoint using a polygon input method, the resulting drawing will show the Boundary as a dashed line. If you do not want this boundary included in the Drawing window, disable the relevant checkbox in Options > Work Environment > More Options.
