Sketched shapes to define detail view fences

Sketched shapes to define detail view fences

In earlier versions of Inventor, you could sketch a shape (I like using an ellipse) to define the shape of the fence for a detail view. Why was this functionality removed? There are many times in very large assemblies that this feature was very helpful.  Can you please bring this feature back?

Nice idea!

Just to clarify: In which Inventor version has this been possible? Cut out views, yes, they have always worked with sketches. But details? I only ever remember (down to version 5.3) having the choice between circle and rectangle.

Hello all, I agree! To be able to custom create Detail Fence Shapes would be useful. Thanks!
