viewport doesn't show
viewport doesn't show
i'm new to dd and want to export a simple drawing from my app. i tried set up a viewport, but it doesn't show in acad
code:
oddbblocktablerecordptr pps = pdb->getpaperspaceid().safeopenobject(oddb::kforwrite);
oddbviewportptr pvp = oddbviewport::createobject();
pvp->setviewtarget( odgepoint3d(0,0,0) );
pvp->setviewcenter( odgepoint2d(10,10) );
pvp->setwidth( 10 );
pvp->setheight( 10 );
pps->appendoddbentity(pvp);
what could be wrong?
look at the code creating viewport in odwriteex sample.

if it wasn't for odwriteex, i wouldn't have been able to write this code. is there anything obviously wrong?
using the odwriteex example i output to acad12 format, but on "layout1" tab i don't see the viewport on the plot - where is it?
i want to setup two viewports on the drawing, one to the left and one to the right. how to do this? i tried looking at the odwriteex example, but it isn't much help, i don't even see the generated viewport on the layout..
recently, i've added next code to odwriteex project:
code:
// create a new layout
oddbobjectid newlayoutid = pdb->createlayout("ddt layout");
oddblayoutptr playout = newlayoutid.safeopenobject();
pdb->setcurrentlayout(newlayoutid); // also creates overall (paperspase) viewport
oddbviewportptr poverallvp = playout->overallvportid().safeopenobject();
// create active viewport
oddbviewportptr pnewvp = oddbviewport::createobject();
oddbblocktablerecordptr pnewps = playout->getblocktablerecordid().safeopenobject(oddb::kforwrite);
pnewps->appendoddbentity(pnewvp);
// set active viewport properties
pnewvp->setwidth(poverallvp->width());
pnewvp->setheight(poverallvp->height());
pnewvp->setcenterpoint(poverallvp->centerpoint());
pnewvp->setviewcenter(poverallvp->viewcenter());
pnewvp->zoomextents();
note that paperspace has one overall viewport and viewports for modelspace entities. if oddblayout:verallvportid() returns null id, then this oddblayout has never been switched to (activated).
oddbdatabase::setcurrentlayout() method creates overall viewport if paperspace has no any viewports.
you can use the next methods to set location and size of viewport on paper (paperunits):
oddbviewport::setwidth()
oddbviewport::setheight()
oddbviewport::setcenterpoint()
and the next methods to set view of viewport (wcs):
oddbviewport::setviewtarget()
oddbviewport::setviewdirection()
oddbviewport::setviewheight()
oddbviewport::setviewcenter()

ahhh, so you add the viewport to the paperspace of the newly created layout.. going to try this at work tomorrow..!
what is the default size of the new layout ?
the default paper size is 8.50x11.00 inches.
