cameraView [-addBookmark] [-animate boolean] [-bookmarkType int] [-camera name] [-name string] [-removeBookmark] [-setCamera] [-setView]
[object]
cameraView is undoable, NOT queryable, and editable.
This command creates a preset view for a camera which is then
independent of the camera. The view stores a camera's eye point,
center of interest point, up vector, tumble pivot, horizontal
aperture, vertical aperature, focal length, orthographic width,
and whether the camera is orthographic or perspective by default.
Or you can only store 2D pan/zoom attributes by setting the
bookmarkType to 1. These settings can be applied to any other
camera through the set camera flag.
This command can be used for creation or edit of camera view
objects. This command can only be executed with one of the add
bookmark, or remove bookmark and one of set camera, or the set
view flags set.
