  • Dynamic Outsides automatically adjusts the Outside size by changing the Border Size to zero.

  • Dragging a new opening to the edge of the mat will adjust the outside size by adding the Border Size around the Bounding Rectangle of the existing openings.

    • If you are familiar with Dynamic Outsides in the Designer Editor, here it sets the Border Size to zero.

    • There is always 0.25” displayed between the design bounds and the rulers, but that is a display padding, not a true border.

The Dynamic Outsides feature adds the Border Size to the Bounding Rectangle of the current Group of Openings, adjusting the Outside Size as necessary in Designer and Visualize.
