Property Value

Model view translation vector

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.
