The create drawing dialog creates saved views from named boundary clipping elements. Plan sheets may contain annotation that is placed outside of the graphics/linework clip. Provide a method to create a second set of named boundaries that represent the usable area within the drawing border. These would be associated with the named boundaries used for graphics clipping (same station range & clip lines) but would have a wider extent to allow for placement of annotation outside of the clip. This would enable annotation shared with multiple sheet types, and multiple sheets of the same type.

Thanks for sharing your idea. To better understand the goal you're trying to accomplish, could you clarify:
What specific problem are you solving by creating a second set of named boundaries?
Can you provide an example workflow or use case where annotation outside the graphics clip is reused across multiple sheets or sheet types?
Are you aiming to improve sheet automation, annotation consistency, or something else?
This will help us assess feasibility and align the solution with your intended outcome.
