Define View

Synopsis

num = DVIEW/csys

Description

Creates and displays a new view which is assigned a numerical value. This number, which must be greater than 8, becomes the current view number and may be used in subsequent View statements. The first eight views, which are shown below, are automatically created by the system.

TFR-ISO (Top Front Right ISOmetric)

8

TFR-TRI (Top Front Right TRImetric)

The system repaints the screen, performing an Auto Max-Min on the geometry. The geometry is displayed as seen by the user moving to a position normal to the XY plane of the specified coordinate system. If the view and the work coordinate system are linked, the work coordinate system could change.

NOTE: GRIP, beginning with Version 4.0, supports most of the Unigraphics layout and view management options. Views can be defined with user-defined names, and placed in multi-view layouts. The DVIEW statement is still valid; however, you are encouraged to use the VIEWC statement.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

csys

An existing coordinate system which defines the orientation of the view. The view is created with the XY plane of the coordinate system parallel to the screen. The positive Y axis is horizontal pointing from left to right. The positive Z axis points toward you.
