Translation3 Property (IModelView)

Gets or sets the model view translation vector.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Property Translation3 As MathVector
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IModelView
Dim value As MathVector
 
instance.Translation3 = value
 
value = instance.Translation3
C# 
MathVector Translation3 {get; set;}
C++/CLI 
property MathVector^ Translation3 {
   MathVector^ get();
   void set (MathVector^ value);
}

Return Value

Model view translation vector

Remarks

When modifying a model view transform, you must use IModelView::Orientation3 and IModelView::Translation3. For example:

...

Dim xyzOrigin As SldWorks.MathPoint

dPoint(0) = 0#: dPoint(1) = 0#: dPoint(2) = 0#

Set xyzOrigin = swMathUtil.CreatePoint((dPoint))

 

Set swVectorZ = swVectorZ.Scale(-1)

Set swMathTrans = swMathUtil.ComposeTransform(swVectorX, swVectorY, swVectorZ, xyzOrigin.ConvertToVector, 1#)

Set swMathTrans = swMathTrans.Inverse

 

Set swModelView = swModel.ActiveView

Set swViewTrans = swModelView.Orientation3

swModelView.Orientation3 = swMathTrans

 

Dim u As Double

u = swModelView.Scale2

Set swMathPoint = swVectorT.ConvertToPoint

Set swMathPoint = swMathPoint.Scale(-1 * u)

Set swMathPoint = swMathPoint.MultiplyTransform(swMathTrans)

swModelView.Translation3 = swMathPoint.ConvertToVector

...

Also, check the vectors by looking at the triad in the model view.
