Commandline: bo

 

Explanation

It's a big model space in there. We can, if we are not careful, create a drawing that is so big that it can't be effectively printed or plotted. In order to have some Idea of where the fences are WireCAD can place boundaries in the model space. The boundary is created from the viewport. We use the text height as the terms for our equation. We do this because a drawing is considered readable if we can read the text. If we can't read the text the drawing becomes useless.

Each boundary will be placed on its own layer an named bound_layout_name where layout_name is replaced with the name of the layout.

 

Dialog Options

Layout - Select the layout from which we will create the boundary.

Text Height that you used in Model Space - The default is .25 DU or as given in 1/100th of a Drawing Unit: 25.

Height of the text that you want to print - Here we want the printed output height in 1/100th of a printer unit.
