Component Outline Needs Max Option

We use the component outline for the PLACE_BOUND layer in Allegro. 

The whole thing is tricky in allegro and just because that is the way its been used does not mean its right, works correctly or as most users never even know what to do so they just do not use it. Using the courtyard for PLACE_BOUND for 3D models gives you a model that can have the pins or not for the EMN/EMP.  This is not what is needed. We just need the Component Outline to be able to be set to maximum like other layers. 
If you have a better way in Allegro to do this I am open to suggestions that are tried and true ways that work. This is a requirement from my customer. And they also Need the courtyard on the DFA_BOUND_TOP with the pins as we just went thru a few weeks ago. 
I would certainly appreciate you considering this so I do not have to write an external program to fix this. Regards Lenny

You cannot make the default nominal and allow it to be changed by the user in the options screen. This would not affect any previous or current users or any footprints unless you change the option. Allegro does not use the courtyard for place_bound_top . Who told you that. 

Come on Tom. That proves nothing but that is what someone chose at the time. Plus you allow it to be changed anyways. I need to use the courtyard as it includes pins on Allegros DFA_BOUND_TOP layer. That is my customers requirement and the only way to get that to work in Allegro from FPX. Then they want the component outline on the PLACE_BOUND_TOP to be at maximum. Adding this does not affect anyone else unless they need to change the option it so it will not be a problem.
