Using ArcView 3.2, a rectangular graphic was drawn around the project view extent.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A rectangular graphic opbject was drawn in ArcView over the extent of the project view area. That graphic object was then converted to a shapefile using the ArcView Xtools extension. The properties value for the created shapefile was edited to create a pale blue background. An AVL file was associated with the shapefile and saved to disk.
