Any trick for switching ProjectionType to PerspectiveWithOrthoFaces

[Maxim-CADman77]

As far as Autodesk deliberetly ignores customer's requests (archived corresponding idea*) for adding ability to set default ProjectionType to "Perspective With Ortho Faces" I suggest try to invent some trick ourselves.

For example is it possible to emulate calling for ViewCube content menu and then (after a bit delay) emulate pressing "F" (or another "underlined" key according to current Inventor session localization)?

..and hook this to activatation of 3Dmodel's graphic window.

I expect that the option PerspectiveWithOrthoFaces is a combination of settings of the camera. If you can figure out what those settings are then you can make an iLogic rule with those settings.  That rule could be triggerd on opening of each file? (i couldn't find the correct settings)

Anyway you can check the camera settings like this.

Dim cam As Camera = ThisApplication.ActiveView.Camera 
MsgBox(cam.Perspective & " - " & cam.PerspectiveAngle)

The properties Perspective and PerspectiveAngle are shown here in a msgbox. More properties can be found in the help files.

If you know what those settings are then your settings rule could look like this:

Dim cam As Camera = ThisApplication.ActiveView.Camera 
cam.Perspective = True
cam.PerspectiveAngle = 0.00001
cam.Apply()
