Most of my fields consist of from 1 to 5 parcels completely separated by waterways but farmed as one field, often crossing the waterways and following terraces that continue thru each of the parcels. Is there a way to have multiple individual field boundaries within a larger field. Having to do each parcel separately isn’t very efficient.

Its possible, you first create and import the outter boundary and than start adding inner ones.
If I understand correctly here, multiple boundaries are wanted. Not an outer with inner ones where you don’t go?
But what is a field with multiple boundaries? I’d say multiple fields. Why does the Uprishaa proposal not work?
Hard to immagine exactly how your field are like, but another solution might be to make that outer boundary and then make AB lines/curves that you name for each specific parcel. There is a Tab in AOG that shifts between selected lines.
I have been out mapping my fields and not paying attention to my own thread. My understanding is that if am spraying and using section control my sprayer will turn on when I am within an outer bondary and turn off when I am within an inner boundary. It wouId be nice if my field could consist of multiple outer boundaries that each also contain some possible inner boundaries. I will attempt to post a picture as soon as I can get one prepared. Thank you for your responses

So here is what my field consists of. The green lines are what I would like to be outer boundaries. The red line would be an inner boundary. The orange lines would be contour lines that I would use as curved guidance lines. As you can see some of the orange lines cross between outer boundaries. This is the usual way fields like this are farmed in my area. These lines are all mapped using a mobile base station for RTK and SW Maps. Last year I used my planter and AgOpen for following the contour lines and it did what I consider to be an excellent job.

We have some of the same situation. It would definitely be nice to have the ability to have multiple outer boundaries.
I connected the bigger field into one and then made some interior boundaries. Set the inside boundaries drive thru or not. Would that not work?
Yes, that is a possibility and it’s something that I hadn’t considered. That may be the way I have to do it. Thank you. The reason I would still like to find an alternative method is that it would be nice if I could set up one guidance line inside the perimeter of each of the outer boundaries to plant. This would be nice at harvest to leave some more room the maneuver the combine.
This is very common in my area, multiple boundaries that make one field. Need to be able to add outside boundaries.
