Get the current camera in a view with v4 2004-07-01 - By OO's mailbot
Back
Great, thanks.
Camera switching is done by using the
SetAttributeValue("activecamera:b", "Camera Name")
but there is a little excentricity that the other cameras
(user,top,right,...) return their names
as "&Top" but you need to use "Top" to set the viewport to use that
camera.
// get the view manager
var oLayout = Desktop.ActiveLayout;
var oViewManager = oLayout.Views("vm");
//Set the active camera to user
oViewManager.SetAttributeValue( "activecamera:b", "User" );
//This will now print: "&User" as the camera name
var cameraName = oViewManager.GetAttributeValue( "activecamera:b" );
LogMessage( "B View Camera: " + cameraName );
