View Type Throigh API

[NirVid]

Hello,

Is there any way, using API, to identify the view type (General / Projected etc.). The View2D object does not seem to provide a way to do this.

May be there is some work-round.

In general, how can you access the information that is displayed when you click on a view and click Drawing View (Viewinfo.inf)

ProDrawingViewType get will get you the data you want.






#include <ProDrawingView.h>

ProError
ProDrawingViewTypeGet
(


ProDrawing drawing



/* (In)


Drawing handle


*/


ProView view



/* (In)


The view handle


*/


ProViewType* type



/* (Out)


view type (General, projection, detailed, auxiliary, revolved, copy and align, of flat ply)


*/

)

Thank you williaps for the explanation.



But I am unable to find anything equivalent in JLink / VB.



Is the ProView object available only in ProToolKit and not in JLink / VB?

Hi Patrick,am a bit concerned about the header file you
have mentioned - #include <ProDrawingView.h>

Not able to find it in my machine at -
..\proeWildfire 4.0\protoolkit\includes

Currently am using Proe Wildfire 4.0 and Visual Studio
2005 for Pro/Toolkit.
Am using the code in the below format -
ProDrawingViewTypeGet(drawing, views[view], &viewtype)

But since it is unable to find the above mentioned header
file,it is throwingup the below error -
"SyncrhonousApplication.cpp(59) : error C3861:
'ProViewTypeGet': identifier not found"

Kindly help.
Thanks heaps!

ProDrawingViewTypeGet() is introduced in WF 5.0 , so will not be available in WF 4.0.

Sorry about that. I should have specified the version from which I got the documentation.
