How to programatically assign the Margin property of Drawing View

When creating a drawing section view, sometimes I need to adjust the margin. How can I access this option via Inventor API? I've been looking through the DrawingView and SectionDrawingView objects API help, but I didn't manage to find it. Did anyone have a chance to find/adjust it via the API? Thanks.

I would see if manipulating the Camera does anything... Otherwise, this might just be one of those things that is not exposed.

What camera manipulation may lead the same effect as setting certain value for Margin?

Well, quickly glancing at the API reference for the Camera object, SetExtents sounds very promising.
