Motion View Script

[Cator]

Greetings,
I made a simple script work, taking a cue from the one shared by Stefan in which I showed the movement of a hinge .... an assembly of 20 parts. The use of time.sleep is essential for a decent result. The question: is it possible to use the Alibre script to sequence the various views of a part \ assembly by recalling the shortcuts already set? It would be the effect of the very simple Swork edrawing animation and I would very much like to be able to create it as I have already done with dynamic scripted animation. (Ps the gyroscope as fascinating as it is after two laps I am seasick).
Regards
Francesco

Does MoveSubassembly also tell you that subassembly movement is not supported?

I'm not sure what you mean by "shortcuts" can you elaborate?

hi Nate,
I mean that by pressing CTRL + D1, CTRL + D2 etc you have by default the standard views in sequence .... if you could access these commands automatically and following a temporal sequence, maybe in loop you could have a "video" of presentation similar to that of edrawing

Ok, I understand now. I tried accessing those saved views using the API and it froze up Alibre Design with no cpu activity. No go. Not sure why. Next possible step would be to create the view transforms from scratch. After that works then a person could iterate between each of them over a given time. However all that being said, your best bet would be to just use a screen recorder and hit those hotkeys.

Post here answer to the thread on the cube because this is what I wanted to create and the cube was just a little bit to add ... I would like to build a GUI in which to set the total time and the options to add and remove but I have to study this new language. lightened the AHK code ...
