view management copy
The COPY command provides a means to copy the viewing parameters from one viewport to another. The parameters that will be copied include the model location and OBJECT_ORIENTATION in the viewport, the status of the RENDER, PROJECTION, TRIAD_VISIBILITY, and NAME_VISIBILITY parameters. These parameters are applied to the target viewport as well as placing the same model in the target viewport.
Note: | The parameters are stored as attributes of the viewport, however, the content of the viewport (e.g. model or analysis) are not. Therefore, if a set of view attributes are RESTORED from the database, the analysis in the view when the attributes were stored is NOT automatically restored by default. To restore the model to the target viewport as well, use the GRAPHIC_RESULTS SINGLE_FRAME_DISPLAY command. |
If used, this command has one required parameter, VIEW_NAME. This command requires that two values (old_view_name,new_view_name) must be provided for this parameter, separated by a comma (no defaults are allowed). The view names can be entered by the keyboard or picked from the screen. If picked from the screen, a comma must still be entered between the picks from the keyboard. Then, the command is terminated with a carriage return.

Extended Definition:
1. 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.
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. Typing the name is the only way to identify a stored view that is not displayed.
