Extended Definition:
1. The information includes:
■name - the name of the view
■center - the view center in global model coordinates.
■field of view - the width (x) and the height (y) of the view in global model coordinates
■project - the view is drawn in either (orthographic or perspective) mode
■render - the view is drawn in (wireframe, solid, or shaded) mode
■saved - whether the view has been saved.
2. Each view created has a name associated with it. The view_name parameter is used to identify a view for a particular operation. In most cases, view_name=all is also a valid entry. The all option indicates "all displayed views". There are eight standard views available when the Adams View is started. These views are: front, top, right, iso, bottom, left, and back. The first four of these standard views are displayed by default when Adams View is started. The user may create new views using the 'VIEW MANAGEMENT CREATE' command, and save/restore their attributes.
3. You may identify a view_layout by typing its name. If a view_layout is available by default, you may identify it by entering its name only. If it is not, you must enter its full name. If you type a "?", Adams View will list the view_layouts available by default. You must separate multiple view_layout names by commas.
4. The ‘write_to_terminal’ parameter is most likely be used in conjunction with the FILE_NAME parameter to get the information put to a file only.
Cautions:
1. Typing the name is the only way to identify a stored view that is not displayed.
Tips:
1. If the VIEW_NAME parameter is used, the desired view can be identified by picking in the window or entering the name from the keyboard.
