SetViewPosition Method (IView)

Moves this drawing view.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function SetViewPosition( _
   ByVal Position As System.Object, _
   ByVal MoveChildViews As System.Boolean _
) As System.Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IView
Dim Position As System.Object
Dim MoveChildViews As System.Boolean
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
value = instance.SetViewPosition(Position, MoveChildViews)
C# 
System.bool SetViewPosition( 
   System.object Position,
   System.bool MoveChildViews
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool SetViewPosition( 
&   System.Object^ Position,
&   System.bool MoveChildViews
)

Parameters

Position
Array of two doubles giving the new x,y position of this drawing view relative to the sheet origin (see Remarks)
MoveChildViews
True to also move child views, false to not

Return Value

True if view position successfully set, false if not

Remarks

Take careful note of view alignments when specifying Position. Any view alignments that might affect this view are handled the same way as if you were using the SOLIDWORKS user interface to draw the view to move it. If this view is aligned with another view, it will only be allowed to move along the alignment vector.
