    Hello,

    I have added your information to our feature request to add an overview/inset map to the Map Layout Editor.  We will post a message on this thread when the status of the request changes.

    Cheers,
    Bob
  • Bit late to the party, but seconded. I believe that V21 may have had this feature but it has since disappeared again?

    The upcoming 24.1 (very soon) will have the ability to add insets from the 3d view, path profiles, or 2d views. I can look at adding the full extents / overview to that list, but it may not make 24.1 -- but you could make a new 2d view with the entire loaded data and inset that for a simple work-around.
