ViewCube rotation through API

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to access the ViewCube trough the API. Through the CommandManager.Controldefinitions i'm able to execute the commands for ViewCube: Front/Right/Top using either AppFrontViewCmd/AppRightViewCmd/AppTopViewCmd

commandManager.ControlDefinitions["AppFrontViewCmd"].Execute();

The commands for rotating to Left/Bottom/Back is not present in the same way as the commands above - and it seems a bit strange that only 3 sides of the ViewCube is availabe. How can I fix this, so that i'm able to rotate to any side of the ViewCube?

Hi erik.martinsson,

Here is a quick iLogic example that I had on hand.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Dim oCamera As Camera 
oCamera = ThisApplication.ActiveView.Camera 
oCamera.ViewOrientationType = 10756 'Back View 
oCamera.Apply

'list of view enums:
'  kTopViewOrientation = 10754
'  kRightViewOrientation = 10755
'  kBackViewOrientation = 10756
'  kBottomViewOrientation = 10757
'  kLeftViewOrientation = 10758
'  kIsoTopRightViewOrientation = 10759
'  kIsoTopLeftViewOrientation = 10760
'  kIsoBottomRightViewOrientation = 10761
'  kIsoBottomLeftViewOrientation = 10762
'  kFrontViewOrientation = 10764
