How to change Drawing View orientation from 'Back' to 'Front' using iLogic?

[sohaib.as01]

Hello everyone,

Can someone point me towards the piece of code in iLogic/API to change the view orientation of an already placed drawing View, having a view name lets say "VIEW1" from "BACK" to "FRONT"? Back and Front being the view orientations shown by the View Cube when placing base view.

All I could find is how to create/place base view from scratch but I just cant figure it out to change orientation of an already placed drawing view.

Thanks alot for helping 🙂

Morning,

Waking up to this little challenge on a sunday morning with a cut of coffee.

Managed to pull this out :

Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet
Dim oView As DrawingView
oView = oSheet.DrawingViews.Item(1)

Dim FrontView As ViewOrientationTypeEnum = kFrontViewOrientation
oView.Camera.ViewOrientationType = FrontView

oView.Camera.Apply

 oView.Camera.Apply was the tricky part.

Hopes this helps out,

Regards,

Added lines to specify the view name. 😃

Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet
Dim oView As DrawingView

Dim ViewName As String = "VIEW1" 'your view name that you want to target
Dim FrontView As ViewOrientationTypeEnum = kFrontViewOrientation 'define the orientation you wanr

For Each oView In oSheet.DrawingViews 'look through all the referenced views
	
	If ViewName.Equals(oView.Name) = True Then

			oView.Camera.ViewOrientationType = FrontView
			oView.Camera.Apply
	
	End If

Next
