VIEWC/'view name',{csys|'base view name'[,VMODS][,VDEP]}[,WORK[,{AUTO|SCALE,s}]][,IFERR,label:]
Creates a view of a specified name and automatically saves it. You can set the view parameters by specifying a base view or by specifying the view coordinate system and allowing the system view defaults to set the rest of the parameters. The system view defaults are:
CENTER = 0,0,0
SCALE = 1.0
NO Z CLIPPING
PARALLEL PROJECTION
OUTPUT VECTORS = 2D
DRAWING REFERENCE POINT = 0,0,0
DRAWING SCALE = 1.0
SURFACE DISPLAY = GRID LINES
DEPTH CUEING = OFF
When a new view is created, it can also be placed in the current layout by specifying the minor word WORK. Even though this can be accomplished in a single GRIP statement, it is actually two operations. The view is created and then retrieved into the current layout. Therefore, the created view can be retrieved in three different ways: at its created scale, by using an Auto Max/Min operation, or at a specified scale. In any case this does not affect the created view.
Parameter |
Description |
'view name' |
A string or string variable which represents the name of the created view. |
csys |
An existing coordinate system object which defines the view orientation. The view is created with the view center at the origin of the coordinate system, the positive X horizontal pointing to the right, and the positive Y vertical pointing up. |
'base view name' |
A string or string variable which represents the name of an existing view. The parameters of this view are used to set the parameters for the created view. |
VMODS |
Minor word which indicates that the view modification parameters of the base view are copied to the created view. |
VDEP |
Minor word which indicates that the view dependent geometry of the base view is moved to the created view. |
WORK |
Minor word which indicates that the new view replaces the current work view in the layout. This cannot be used if the current layout is a drawing. |
AUTO |
Minor word which indicates that an Auto Max/Min operation is performed on the created view. |
SCALE |
Minor word which indicates that the view is retrieved at a specified scale. |
s |
A positive real number which represents the scale at which the view is retrieved. |
IFERR,label: |
Label to which program execution jumps if an error occurs during view creation. |
