You can programmatically control the Model View capability using the ModelViewManager data object which can be accessed via the Graphics Object as shown below.

view_manager = Graphics.ModelViewManager

To get the number of graphical views that are currently defined:

views_count = view_manager.NumberOfViews

You can create a graphical view from current graphics using either a default name or a specified name. To create a view using a default name:

view_manager.CreateView

The name assigned to the new view is View followed by the next sequential number. To create a view using a specified name, where viewName is the name to assign to the new view:

view_manager.CreateView(string viewName)

You can apply a graphical view by specifying its name or index. To apply a view by specifying its name, where viewLabel is the name of the view to apply:

view_manager.ApplyModelView(string viewLabel)

For example, to apply a view named Fit View:

view_manager.ApplyModelView("Fit View")

To apply a view by specifying its index, where viewIndex is the index of the listed view to apply:

view_manager.ApplyModelView(int viewIndex)

For example, to apply a view with index 1:

view_manager.ApplyModelView(1)

Additionally there are API’s to cover the other features of Model View Manager such as:

Deleting a view:

DeleteView(“Fit View”)

Renaming a view:

RenameView(“Fit View”, “New Name”)

Exporting a saved view list:

ExportModelViews("D:\My_Projects\Views\myviews.xml")

Importing a saved view list:

ImportModelViews("D:\My_Projects\Views\allviews.xml")
