ViewParameters Object Preview

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::drawing" and the header file is <Drawing/Sheet/ViewParameters.h>

PreviewThis functionality is provided as a preview of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the Fusion API and Scripts forum.

Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.

Description

Object that holds orientation, scale, appearance, edge visibility, and automatic center mark and center line options for view creation inputs. Mirrors the Base View command dialog.

Methods

Name Description
classType

Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().

Properties

Name Description
centerLineOptions Returns the center line options.
centerMarkOptions Returns the center mark options.
isShowInterferenceEdges Gets and sets whether interference edges are displayed. Defaults to true.
isShowThreadEdges Gets and sets whether thread feature edges are displayed. Defaults to true.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.

It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():
orientation Gets and sets the view orientation. Defaults to FrontViewOrientationType.
scaleValue Gets and sets the view scale as a numeric ratio. Defaults to 0, which selects automatic scale. Examples: 1:2 = 0.5, 1:4 = 0.25, 4:2 = 2, 4:1 = 4.
style Gets and sets the display style. Defaults to VisibleEdgesDrawingViewStyleType.
tangentEdgesType Gets and sets how tangent edges are displayed. Defaults to OffTangentEdgeDisplayType.
