3.Choose an area-based geometry method from the Info Box: Polygonal, Rectangular, or Rotated Rectangular. (The first, “No Boundary” geometry method, creates a marker linked to an independent viewpoint having no model source.)

Note: Source-type Detail markers are distinguished on screen by an optional semi-transparent fill. (Use View > On-screen View Options > Highlight Source Markers to enable or disable this distinguishing fill for all source markers. The color of this highlight can be set in Options > Work Environment > On-Screen Options.)

6.A new Detail Drawing viewpoint is created and listed in the Navigator Project Map.

To define the reference information displayed in a source-type Detail marker:

See Define Marker Reference for Source Marker.

Other information about the new Detail viewpoint - its Markers and Reference information - can be defined in Detail Settings.
