autoview [-s scale] [object ...]AUTOVIEW(nged)
NAME
autoview - Frames objects within the view.
On this page
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Resets the view size and the view center such that the framed objects are within the view. With no arguments, all currently displayed objects are framed. If a list of object names (or full paths) is supplied, the view is instead centered and sized to frame only those objects; they need not be displayed. The objects' bounding box is computed directly from the database.
OPTIONS
- -s, --scale scale
-
Set the view scale: the model scale relative to the view size. A smaller value zooms in, a larger value zooms out; the default is 0.5 model scale (so the model occupies half the view).
For backward compatibility a bare leading numeric argument is also accepted as the scale, but only when -s is not given and no object of that name exists (an object with a purely numeric name always takes precedence). Use -s to avoid the ambiguity.
EXAMPLES
Example 1. Reset view size and center so that all displayed objects are within the view.
- mged> autoview
-
The view resets so that all objects displayed can be seen.
Example 2. Frame only the named objects.
- mged> autoview engine.r wheel.r
-
The view is centered and sized to frame just engine.r and wheel.r.
Example 3. Frame the named object using a specific scale.
- mged> autoview -s 0.5 engine.r
-
The view is centered on engine.r and sized using a scale of 0.5.
