[ORD 2020 R3] Modfiying Plan-View Named Boundaries

This post ties in to my earlier post about modifying Profile Named Boundaries.

Sometimes there is a need to modify a Plan Named Boundary.  Perhaps you don't need to show part of the last sheet that lies beyond the project limits, or you need to modify a shape's vertices for various reasons.  I tried this in the Drawing model, but there is no way to change the reference clipping boundary in the Drawing Model.  I then modified the Named Boundary manually in the Design Model.  However, the resulting Drawing Model's reference files move and they are no longer at the correct coordinates.  Is this how it is supposed to work?  I can clip or mask the referenced drawing models in the sheet files, but there is no way to expand the Named Boundary outside of it's original limits.  You can only clip it smaller or mask part of it.

I would like the ability to change the shape and/or the extents of the Drawing model that ultimately show up on sheets.  Is this possible?

It was much simpler with the Plan and Profile Generator in GEOPAK without the need for intermediate Drawing Models. I'm not seeing the advantage of this new workflow.
