[ORD] Can named boundaries be placed before the alignment starts?

Mary,

Another option you might be able to take advantage of is the "Overlap" functionality in the Plan Named Boundary dialog. The intended use of that setting is to overlap each sheet, but what you can do is set the Overlap to "100" in this case and ONLY place the first boundary. Then come back into the dialog, set the Overlap back to "0" and be sure to set the "Group" to the Named Boundary Group you just created so that you can lay out the rest of the NBs, without overlap, while also putting them in the same group as the first NB. (Of course, you'd need to identify the correct location of the start of the next NBs by snapping to the end of the 1st NB and the alignment).

I hope that gives you another potential workaround for this situation moving forward.

OK, that worked *this time. Not sure why it didn't before, but it did work. Good to know!

You should be able to enter 9+00 into the Start Location of the Named Boundary dialog when creating the boundaries.

Or if the sheet is already created move the drawing model reference attachments in the sheet model and adjust the clipping boundaries - for the profile grid you would need to manually draw the additional grid.
