vla-syncModelView

Anyone have any idea what this function does?
Doesn't seem to be listed in the help files but
does show up in the Apropos window.

(AutoCAD 2005)

 

Hi Jason

vla-syncModelView is a method to the PViewport object - that's all what I know.

Cheers

 

Hi Jürg,

I noticed that when I dumped a viewport. Also noticed
that the vla-shadeplot methods do not show up for a
Pviewport object (on the dump) but they are supported
per the help files. Confusing, at best.


Select object: ; IAcadPViewport2: AutoCAD Paperspace Viewport Object
; Property values:

<snip>

; Methods supported:
; ArrayPolar (3)
; ArrayRectangular (6)
; Copy ()
; Delete ()
; Display (1)
; GetBoundingBox (2)
; GetExtensionDictionary ()
; GetGridSpacing (2)
; GetSnapSpacing (2)
; GetXData (3)
; Highlight (1)
; IntersectWith (2)
; Mirror (2)
; Mirror3D (3)
; Move (2)
; Rotate (2)
; Rotate3D (3)
; ScaleEntity (2)
; SetGridSpacing (2)
; SetSnapSpacing (2)
; SetXData (2)
; SyncModelView ()
; TransformBy (1)
; Update ()

 

SyncModelView is supposed to "Update the viewport parameters with the
parameters in the associated model view."

So it must work hand-in-hand with the ModelView property which: "Returns and
sets the model view associated with the viewport."

Both of these are for SSM support in my _opinion_.

Thanks Robert. I figured that is had to do with the
SSM (still "struggling" with that monster). Sure hope
the SSM gets some refinements with the next release
(or service pack for this one, but I doubt that. Layer
states and saved views are also needing some work)
