SIZE xvalue yvalue
set VIEW size in mm with origin at default that means, centre of Sheet. Min, Max, x,y values are 1 mm, 3276 mm respectively.
SIZE paper_size
set VIEW size to a standard paper size, for example, SIZE A2
VREGION @
set VIEW size and position using cursor
VREGION FROM X value Y value TO X value Y value
set VIEW size and position explicitly
VREGION corner
move VIEW using specified corner to position:
TL top left
TR top right
BL bottom left
BR bottom right
C center
VREGION VERTICAL direction
set VIEW (vertical axis) orientation:
U up
D down
L left
R right
AT @
position VIEW origin in Sheet using cursor
AUTO design_element_identifier
set VIEW Scale and Through Point through design_element_identifier and scale to fit
AUTO idlist_name
set VIEW Scale, Through Point and Id List reference. If idlist_name is omitted the IDLI relevant to the VIEW is assumed.
AUTO LIMITS OF /idlist_name
use limits box of Id List to define VIEW
AUTO FROM position TO position
use specified limits box to define view. The VIEW’s VSCA and THPO attributes are calculated from the box defined by the two 3D co-ordinates specified by position. (position includes cursor specification of a 3D point or p-point, explicit p-point reference, origin of a named element, or an explicit 3D coord.)
VSCALE value
set Scale of VIEW
THPO E value N value U value
(or LOOK THROUGH ...)
set Through Point of VIEW in 3D coords
THPO ID @
(or LOOK THROUGH ...)
set Through Point as Design element p-point (converted to 3D coord)
FRPO E value N value U value
(or LOOK FROM ...)
set From Point of VIEW in 3D coords
FRPO @
(or LOOK FROM ...)
set From Point in 3D coords with cursor
FRPO ID @
(or LOOK FROM ...)
set From Point as Design element p-point (converted to 3D coord)
ONPO xvalue yvalue
position the Through Point relative to the VIEW origin
ONPO @
position the Through Point relative to the VIEW origin using the cursor
TURN value
(or ADEG value)
rotate VIEW anticlockwise
VTYP option
set VIEW type.
Options: WIRE, MWIR, LOCAL, GLOB, UNIV
LOOK value
(or DIR value)
set VIEW direction
ISO value
set isometric VIEW direction
PLAN
set plan VIEW direction
ELEV option
set elevation VIEW direction options: N, E, S and W
PERSPECTIVE angle
set VIEW perspective
ATOL value
set arc tolerance
RRSF name
set reference to Representation Ruleset (RRST) element
RCOD option
set rotation code.
Options: UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT (default UP)
Q VIEWDIR option
query 3D view direction equivalent to 2D Sheet direction
LFRA option
set visibility of VIEW frame
FRAME option
Options: TRUE or FALSE (LFRA)
ON or OFF (FRAME).
LVIS FALSE
makes the VIEW invisible
LVIS TRUE
makes the VIEW visible (default)
Q VLIMITS
gives 3D limits of View (View must be orthogonal, with no perspective)
