Model view name and orientation name from View

Hi all,

Ketan,

The API is missing and it was missing for the last 25 years.

The most useful workarounds:

1. create a set of ProParameters in a drawing where a parameter name is a drawing view name and the value is model view name. This works for use cases when the app would need to set up a drawing view and later on to see if a parent model view orientation had been changed.

2. this is just an educated guess approach - get a drawing view transformation matrix, normalize, remove shift and scale, map to model coordinates (drw_to_model_trf). In a model, visit named views, for each view get a view transformation, remove shift, scale, normalize and calculate dot products between drw_to_model_trf's vectors and view's transformation vectors - the resulting dot product values should be double-equal to 1.0 with some fuzz factor. The result of this should be one or more co-oriented model views and your app would have to make a decision which one to use...

HIH.

FV.

Hello

 

We have view created into drawing file. We know we can set model view name and orientation name for drawing view using API ProDrawingViewOrientationFromNameSet().

 

Is there a way we can get model view name and orientation name for a view? We need to achieve this through Toolkit. We have Creo 4.0 M030.

 

Thanks and Regards

Ketan

I guess I don't understand your request but 

• tk_status = ProViewNameToView (model,pro_view_name,&view);
• tk_status = ProViewMatrixGet  (model,view,matrix);
