Trimble fmx boundaries

Is there an other way to make a fully functional field boundary then using the headland mode?
I would like to make them by using field mark option, while driving autopilot on exsisting ab lines, which I have already made in my fields…

I tried that today, but when I finish boundary, it is saved in swats/area features, not in the place where are AB lines saved…
It does not apply to the field, it is not calculating field size, covered area etc…

i would like make boundaries that way, and use it rather then using headland mode… I would like that way to autoshift exsisting AB lines depending on configurated implement width…

that way I will have the field, with boundary, and 4 (or more) AB lines inside… and that AB lines should shift depending on implement configuration, and manualy choosing AB line I want with next button…
I would like use that way, to work like headland pattern, but rether then headland pattern…
Is that possible on fmx??

Or from boundary made by feature marks make something like headland pattern…
If I use headland pattern to make boundaries i must drive them manualy, but last planting season I made AB lines in all my fields, and now, in my drilling season, I want to make straight or curved boundaries using them with RTK autopilot… and in next spring use that fmx for spraying and fertiliser spreading, but with different implement width… so I would like to have boundaries in all of my fields, so fmx can based on implement size place my AB lines on correct place automaticaly, so I do not need to manualy shift them every time…

I haven't had to make a boundary with mine for a few years, though they haven't updated the firmware for a few years now either.

The FMX should do what you want for automatically generating boundry swaths to suit different with implements, however I recall it need the headland boundry to be recorded manually, not while steering to follow existing AB lines.

You had to select Boundry mode in the drop box on the swaths tab, then press the button at the bottom of that tab to record a new one.

Yes, i have already known that…
But I want to use my AB lines around the field which I have already had, and drive around the field using autopilot, and make a boundary line using field mark set as boundary…
After that I want to set that boundary line as headland guidance line with adding one of my exsisting AB lines as infill line…
Then I would be able to use headland mode when I am spraying, spreading, or drilling wheat, or using 4 AB lines when I am planting… those 4 lines would perfectly match headland gudance line, and both would be aligned to the boundary…

Is that possible??
I assuming it would be possible using that trimble farm core online platform, where you can manage boundaries and lines, from that boundary line make boundary and also a headland gudance line…

I do not want to drive manualy new headland pattern while I have already had all my fields with 4 or more AB lines, and I want to use them to make perfectly straight boundaries driving autopilot…

Pause and unpause to make straight boundaries really straight, but yeah, I never managed to get it following an existing swath. Might have been good if I could in some fields as the curved tramlines never fitted that neatly with the separately recorded curved Boundry.

The main question is: Can I from boundary shape file in the Trimble farming Core software make a headland pattern guidance line… adding one of exsisting AB lines as an infill line???

then is not a problem drive the boundary following lines by autopilot and get perfectly straight boundaries which match headland pattern and also match exsisting AB lines…

then would be possible in the same field planting following AB lines, and spraying using headland pattern… headland guidance line would follow AB lines…
