Set Viewports Example (C#)

This example shows how to set viewports and check and change whether they're linked.

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Preconditions:

// 1. Open:

// <SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\introtosw\pressure_plate.sldprt

// 2. Set some breakpoints (e.g., before and after panning the viewports).

//

// Postconditions:

// 1. Viewport arrangement set to Two View-Horizontal.

// 2. Top viewport is panned; bottom viewport also

//    panned because it is linked to top viewport.

// 3. Viewports are unlinked.

// 4. Top viewport is panned; bottom view isn't panned

//    because viewports were unlinked.

// 5. Viewport arrangement set to single view.

//

// NOTE: Because this model is used in a SolidWorks

//       online tutorial, do not save any changes

//       when you close the model document.
