I don't have a problem with creating the 2D Layout views... But is there a way to create the views with locked orthogonal projection, such as when you use the "Principal Views" function in the 2D Layout for 3D Design app?

Also... If that weren't enough... I can't find a method or property to change the Layout View filter. I would like to create the views from the capture, but since I can't seem to do that, I would need to manually apply the filter.

I have found this in the automation document, under "CAT2DLToolsOptions Setting Repository", but I'm really not sure what to do with the info:


FilterCreationModeForPrincipalView
Role: View filter creation mode for principal views
Detailed role: Applies filter from the given options to newly principal view.

Tab Page: /Mechanical Design/2D Layout for 3D Design/View Creation
Type: integer
Default value: 0
Values: 0 Active View Filter
Detailed role: Apply the same filter as for the active view to the newly created view.

1 No Filter
Detailed role: Does not apply any filter to the newly created view.

2 Default Filter
Detailed role: Apply default filter to the newly created view.

3 Display Filter
Detailed role: Creates a dedicated display filter and applies it to the newly created view.

4 Mask Filter
Detailed role: Creates a dedicated mask filter and applies it to the newly created view.

5 List Filters
Detailed role: Display layout view filters dialog box.
