the Microstation Named Boundary tool is still present in ORD. In the search ribbon if you type in Named Boundary and take the first option it opens the Microstation Named Boundary dialog and not the ORD one (so its missing all the civil buttons). (see attached image of side by side of both dialogs) looks like the Microstation tool is under the fence tools (see attached image).
was told this is works as designed and to submit an idea.
I just don't understand how having two different dialogs with the same exact name is "works as designed".
This confuses users when they get the Microstation Named Boundary dialog, especially because the ribbon search launches the Microstation named boundary dialog.
Also, the ORD named boundary dialog will show all non-civil named boundaries, so it's not like anything would be missing by getting rid of the Microstation Named Boundary dialog.
Furthermore the place named boundary tool only opens the civil version of it. The Microstation version cannot be found/launched. So the place named boundary tool got rid of the Microstation version but then the named boundary dialog didn't. seems more like an oversight then works as designed.
This idea is to update ORD so all named boundary tools only open the civil named boundary dialog and to never show the Microstation named boundary dialog.
if that cannot be done then at the very least the two dialogs need different names.

to add to this if you open the microstation named boundary dialog and hit the first button (place named boundary) it doesnt open the place named boundary tool, just says Ambiguous command in the message center. My guess it because it wants to open the microstation version of place named boundary but its not there as there is only the ORD version of place named boundary.
So ORD has removed the microstation version of place named boundary but has left the microstation version of the named boundary dialog in the software. anyone else think this is more of a defect/oversight? this really shouldn't be an idea people vote on, but a defect that gets fixed.
