Show Front View (Viewcube) Using an iLogic Rule

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

 

I am coding a rule that will export a flat surface of a part to DWG file. However I would like the rule to automatically show the front view (according to the viewcube) of the part prior to selecting the surface to export. What would be the code to do show front view (if any)?

 

Regards,

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppFrontViewCmd").Execute

 Or there would be ways to do it without utilizing control definitions too, but that would take more coding.
