[ponder] sorry i was not clear in the question.
i meant in catvba.
using code:
Dim documents1 As Documents
Set documents1 = CATIA.Documents
Dim drawingDocument1 As DrawingDocument
Set drawingDocument1 = documents1.Open("C:\Users\XYZ\Desktop\xxx.catDrawing")
Dim drawingSheets1 As DrawingSheets
Set drawingSheets1 = drawingDocument1.Sheets
Dim drawingSheet1 As DrawingSheet
Set drawingSheet1 = drawingSheets1.Item("Sheet.1")
Dim drawingViews1 As DrawingViews
Set drawingViews1 = drawingSheet1.Views
Dim drawingView1 As DrawingView
Set drawingView1 = drawingViews1.Add("Front View")
Dim drawingViewGenerativeLinks1 As DrawingViewGenerativeLinks
Set drawingViewGenerativeLinks1 = drawingView1.GenerativeLinks
Dim drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 As DrawingViewGenerativeBehavior
Set drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 = drawingView1.GenerativeBehavior
Dim partDocument1 As PartDocument

Set partDocument1 = documents1.Item("XXXXX")
Dim product1 As Product
Set product1 = partDocument1.GetItem("12333")
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.Document = product1
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.DefineFrontView 1#, 0#, 0#, 0#, 1#, 0#
drawingView1.X = 279.4
drawingView1.Y = 215.9
Set drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1 = drawingView1.GenerativeBehavior
drawingViewGenerativeBehavior1.Update
drawingView1.SetViewName "Front View", "", ""
drawingView1.Activate
drawingView1.[Scale] = 0.5

this code generates view
i m not able to give dimensions for the generated view through code
