1. | Create a boundary. See Creating a Boundary for instructions. | |
2. | Click the Area button . | |
The Area Creation dialog box displays. | ||
3. | Select the Bounded - Inside button . | |
4. | Select the Type of area you want to create. | |
5. | Define a height for the area. You cannot set X and Y dimensions using this option. | |
6. | Select other options, as needed, displayed in the Area Creation dialog box. These are explained in Create Area by Size and Location. | |
7. | Click anywhere inside the boundary. The area is displayed. | |
Sometimes the area will not display correctly inside the boundary - it may overlap a part of the boundary or not align with a portion correctly. In such cases delete the area and click again at a location that is different from the last location you clicked at. It may take two or three tries before you get the correct display. | ||
