AUTO ZOOM TO FIT ON DRAWING PAGES?

Preston_Reed — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 21:45:07 GMT

Is there a way to auto fit the view in inventor drawings. The way to fit to page currently is to double click the scroll wheel. The issue is that after you zoom in on one of your pages the next time you come back to that page it is still zoomed in unless you double click and reset it. Is there a way that you can fit all to page at once or better yet after you leave the page it resets to a zoom to fit view. Similar to how you can lock a view while modeling so every time you come back to that view it is set where you locked it?

@Preston_Reed you can set a simple iLogic rule and run it from an event trigger (after open document). This will work in all environments (part, drawing and assembly). Here is the code:

Dim oCam As Camera oCam = ThisApplication.ActiveView.Camera oCam.Fit oCam.ApplyWithoutTransition

This code executes a "zoom all" for all sheets in a drawing, if that helps you:

I've been looking for this too - thanks.

@Preston_Reed - be careful with triggering "After Save" because it dirties the file after you save it - and you are saving the "un-zoomed" version.

Probably safer to use "Before Save" - especially if you are a Vault user.
