Limit panel by limit of another panel

Limit a panel using the limit of another panel on the same plane or surface. You can apply this limit to either a new or an existing panel, as described in the following procedure.

The limited panel is topologically referenced by DMODRF, so the panel automatically reflects any changes to the source limit.

Prerequisites

• An existing panel in the same location as the target panel.
