I wanted to see how people are managing ORD plan production, specifically with regards to plan views cut on curves.
We have working through some thoughts on how to clean up this process, and have had difficulty finding a workflow that I would be comfortable taking to you users as a process to go from the model to plan, or plan/profile sheets. I suppose related to the conversation, does anyone know how the positioning of the drawing reference into the sheet is determined? One workflow we attempted was creating named boundaries with the "From Drawing Boundary" option (since it gives boundaries that would match the destination size and shape) so that we could adjust the "Civil Plan" named boundaries to match this. While this updated the shape and limits of the clipping in the reference, they would be located offset or twisted. I would be very interested in hearing how users are leveraging these tools.
May the conversation begin!!!
Thanks,
Steve
Setting the 'Boundary Chords' to 0 will give you a rectangular Named Boundary, which would have its size set to match the 'box' shown at the top of your sheet.
Interesting thought, Mark...
Sorry not to have addressed your questions until now, Steven. When I reclip, I do such directly on the sheets, and I annotate directly on the drawing model for complex geometry and the base model for more simplified geometry (we always are suffering with such decisions :-) ). As far as I can tell, there seems no manner of auto-generating a match line. Perhaps in a later release?
