Confused if a drawing view name stored in a variable is different then actually calling the drawing view name directly?
Confused if a drawing view name stored in a variable is different then actually calling the drawing view name directly?
So, i was just working with iLogic to automate my drawing and came across a weird issue, so let me just ask directly;
if using this method to read the drawing view width; FRONT_VIEW.Width
where FRONT_VIEW = ActiveSheet.View("F_VIEW").View
is different than
ActiveSheet.View("F_VIEW").Width ?
if so, how and why??
Because when I output the view width values, both come out to be different, with "ActiveSheet.View("F_VIEW").Width" method giving the true value, which is for example 2087.5 as compared to this method "FRONT_VIEW.Width" method, which is giving me the value of 208.75.
ActiveSheet.View("F_VIEW") gets the ICadDrawingView Interface of iLogic, where ActiveSheet.View("F_VIEW").View gets the DrawingView object of the Inventor API.
I think the DrawingView object of Inventor is in internal units (cm) and the other uses document units (mm).
