Fence and Cutout Shape editing of Detail Views

[johnstda]

Sometimes when creating detail views I forget to select the correct Fence and Cutout shape. To correc this I need to delete the current detail view, which I've already annotated and create a new one. it would be nice to be able to simply modify these attributes of the detail view AFTER I've created it.

My thoughts exactly..... See this thread from 2/18/2012

And at least one more, which also already refers to karthur1's idea in the comments:

Yet somehow none of them are marked as Duplicates.  If you see this idea and vote for it, please vote for the older submissions as well - dividing up the support between multiple threads isn't good, since it can make it look like fewer people are voting for the idea.

Hi,

If you right click the detail bubble that was created, there is an option under the 'options' tab to change the cut out style.

I do not see an option to change the fence type in right-click options of either the fence or the detail view panel. Where are you seeing the option? Andy (Inventor 2016)

I realise this doesn't solve wanting to change the shape of the boundary, but does allow you to change the fence/cutout settings

That it is not possible to change a simple ting as a Cutout Shape is strange.
