Summary
Specifies a default frame from a pasteboard to use for inline frame creation as part of an inline frame creation command sequence within the <?frame> command.
Example extract

This sample when placed inline and formatted will create a frame of 80 x 30mm at 50mm down 70mm accross with the frame name "Simple_1" using frame 1 from the default pasteboard.

 <?frame clear default 1> 1
 <?frame size 80mm, 30mm> 2
 <?frame position 50mm, 70mm> 3
 <?frame raw name "Simple_1"> 4
 <?frame event after-page 2> 5
 <?frame add-to-page> 6
4
Always clear any preexisting frame properties that may be in memory, otherwise they could get applied to the frame that you are creating. This will take frame 1 from the default pasteboard.
6
The size of your frame.
8
The position of your frame.
10
Give the frame a name. This is because frames are always referred to by name if they require modification (the frame number is never used). This is also useful because of the way auto frames are handled internally - the name is required to uniquely identify a frame. This is particularly important for the autocopy feature, and for killing frames.
12
Create frame starting on page 3.
14
Always add to page (this actually adds the frame to the page).

Syntax (7.67a)
