Is there a way to redefine a saved view matrix via the SDK?

[JHangstoerfer]

We want to update the matrix of a saved view of perspective type. In the UI this is handled via "Redefine..." in the Navigation palette and also allows you to change some restore options but those are not relevant for us.

 

I don't see any methods in the SDK that would allows us to do this. There is gSDK->EditSavedViewWithUI but that opens the Edit dialog, which does not update the matrix, only the other options and the name. A way to trigger to open up the Redefine UI would also be fine for us.

 

"Redefine..." seems update the matrix on the saveViewNode. Would it be possible to directly modify these fields with our new matrix?

Since you know where the matrix is located in the aux list, you should be able to adjust it using the aux functions: https://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/Category:VCOM:VectorWorks:ISDK(Auxiliary_and_Data_Objects)

 

I thought I had some code where I adjusted something in an aux list, but I can't find it anymore...

I don't see a way to read or write the fields from my screenshot directly. It might be possible they are additionally saved in tagged user data but I don't have the dataTags and dataIndex to read those values without brute forcing to find them.

There is some tagged data below saveViewNode but nothing looks like the information that we want.
