Hi, I am a new intern for an engineering company and this is my first time working with OpenRoads and any Bentley software.
Like I said, I have only been working with OpenRoad for a few days now and I am very lost in the process of models and sheets. So, if I describe what I am doing, please forgive me.
Basically, I am taking a referenced document and making a " Named Boundary " around it. After, I click the drop down arrow next to " Named boundaries ", I find the boundary I just made, right click and select create drawing. It opens the sheet view but it is the wrong border. Is there a way to change the border, maybe a better way to make a sheet? I am open to any help at all. The company I work for calls this kind of file a "TYPICAL" but like I said, I am a new intern and not sure if this is an industry term or not. I learned how to do the previous steps from multiple YouTube videos and I am sure this is a simple task but I am sort of overwhelmed to be completely honest. I can attach images if that would help decipher my question. Thank you so much for any help!
Welcome to Bentley software and congrats on your internship! The named boundary method of creating sheets is relatively new to Bentley software and its outcomes are highly dependent on the workspace files created by your company or your company's clients. Named boundaries are just one of dozens of ways of making sheets in Microstation and its derivatives (such as ORD). Personally, I don't like them. However... since you're an intern, I'd strongly suggest reaching out to your coworkers and superiors. I guarantee that they expect it and look forward to it. Chances are that they have a preferred method of sheet creation and if they're willing to hire an intern then it's also highly likely that they're willing to sit down and teach you their method. Once you know their method and understand the basics, you'll be ready to learn the pros/cons of alternative methods. They can also teach you about their preferences and expectations for the appearance and level of detail on a typical section sheet, which can vary wildly between agencies and even between individual engineers.
