Is it possible to frame a drawing view?

Hi, I am a new user, I have a simple doubt:

 

Is it possible to frame a drawing view, as in the attached image, with Creo Parametric 2.0?

Here I made a sketch, but I used other 3D cad programs, that could show the border view with a pair of clicks...

 

Thank you very much

I think Creo does not do this for primary views. You can sketch a boundary and relate it to a view so it will move with the view.

I think they only way you could do this is to sketch the box around the view, change the line style to phantom, or whatever is desired, and then relate the sketched entities to the view. The box will move with the view, but will not re-size around model changes.

Welcome to the forum, Albert.

I think the closest thing we have is erasing the view which leaves a very tight rectangular border around your view.

As Mark suggested, you can manually add this in sketch mode and relate the lines to the view.

Do you want these to plot or are they just guides?

If they are simple guides, pre-selection highlighting will quickly show the border's extent.

Thank you all,

I want this boundary to plot it.

If sketching is the only way, I will do.
