NX 8's borders and zones is cool for the getting zone locations but the automatic border creation needs to have its own line color/width and annotation preferences. The reason I say this is because it is currently based off of the Object --> line color/width and the annotation alignment is based off of the annotation preference.
At first I was OK with changing the preferences to create the border then changing it back to our regular company standards but I realized that if you right click on the sheet in the part navigator and increment sheet revision that it will re-create the border. This is a problem for us at least because our borders are thick line width, the color is yellow and the annotation alignment is middle center. Where as our defaults are thin line width, the color green and the annotation alignment is top left. In the end I stuck with my old borders but still using the new border/zone command with every option to create unchecked so that I can still get the sheet and zone annotation benefits without it displaying anything.
