DRAW Reference Manual

Drawing the Design : Summary of Commands : At VIEW . . .

SIZE xvalue yvalue

set VIEW size in mm with origin at default i.e. centre of Sheet. Min, Max, x,y values are 1 mm, 3276 mm respectively.

SIZE paper_size

set VIEW size to a standard paper size, e.g. SIZE A2

set VIEW size and position using cursor

VREGION FROM X value Y value TO X value Y value

set VIEW size and position explicitly

move VIEW using specified corner to position:

TL top left
TR top right
BL bottom left
BR bottom right
C centre

VREGION VERTICAL direction

set VIEW (vertical axis) orientation:

U up
D down
L left
R right

position VIEW origin in Sheet using cursor

AUTO design_element_identifier

set VIEW Scale and Through Point through design_element_identifier and scale to fit

AUTO idlist_name

set VIEW Scale, Through Point and Id List reference. If idlist_name is omitted the IDLI relevant to the VIEW is assumed.

AUTO LIMITS OF /idlist_name

use limits box of Id List to define VIEW

AUTO FROM position TO position

use specified limits box to define view. The VIEW’s VSCA and THPO attributes are calculated from the box defined by the two 3D co-ordinates specified by position. (position includes cursor specification of a 3D point or p-point, explicit p-point reference, origin of a named element, or an explicit 3D coord.)

set Scale of VIEW

THPO E value N value U value
(or LOOK THROUGH ...)

set Through Point of VIEW in 3D coords

THPO ID @
(or LOOK THROUGH ...)

set Through Point as Design element p-point (converted to 3D coord)

FRPO E value N value U value
(or LOOK FROM ...)

set From Point of VIEW in 3D coords

FRPO @
(or LOOK FROM ...)

set From Point in 3D coords with cursor

FRPO ID @
(or LOOK FROM ...)

set From Point as Design element p-point (converted to 3D coord)

ONPO xvalue yvalue

position the Through Point relative to the VIEW origin

position the Through Point relative to the VIEW origin using the cursor

TURN value
(or ADEG value)

rotate VIEW anticlockwise

VTYP option

Options: WIRE, MWIR, LOCAL, GLOB, UNIV

LOOK value
(or DIR value)

set VIEW direction

ISO value

set isometric VIEW direction

set plan VIEW direction

ELEV option

set elevation VIEW direction options: N, E, S and W

PERSPECTIVE angle

set VIEW perspective

set arc tolerance

set reference to Representation Ruleset (RRST) element

RCOD option

set rotation code.
Options: UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT (default UP)

Q VIEWDIR option

query 3D view direction equivalent to 2D Sheet direction

LFRA option

set visibility of VIEW frame

Options: TRUE or FALSE (LFRA)
ON or OFF (FRAME).

makes the VIEW invisible

makes the VIEW visible (default)

gives 3D limits of View (View must be orthogonal, with no perspective)
