To Create and Removing Boundaries for Layout Grids

Use this procedure to create a boundary around a 2D layout grid. Areas of the grid outside the boundary are not shown. However, objects anchored to the grid outside the boundary are still displayed. Boundaries are useful when you need to create a grid in an irregularly shaped area.

You can also remove a boundary to redisplay the entire grid.

  1. Draw a closed polyline to define the grid boundary.
  2. Select a layout grid, and then click Layout Grid 2D tabClipping panelSet Boundary.
  3. Select the layout grid, and press Enter.
  4. Select the closed polyline for the boundary of the layout grid, and press Enter.
  5. To remove a grid boundary, erase the polyline that defines the boundary.
