Orient current view to closest orientation of WCS

Orient current view to closest orientation of WCS

Hi,

I'm trying to write a journal code that orients current view to closest canned orientation using the WCS.
Default function under "F8" key - "workPart.ModelingViews.WorkView.SnapToClosestCannedOrientation()"
works with the absolute csys.

Regards,
Pawel

RE: Orient current view to closest orientation of WCS

You don't need no journal. Use the existing function View-Operation- Set View to WCS.
In NX6 it was called "Set to WCS" . Same function except the name.

Or, select a plane/planar face and press F8; the view will orient to the plane.

I use the function "Set View to WCS", but it orients view to XC-YC plane of WCS.
If I want to orient view to other planes I need to rotate WCS.

My idea is to get the orientation matrix of current view and compare it with the nearest plane of WCS.
That kind of function working under keybord shortcut would be very helpful for me.

Regards,
Pawel
