DrawingViews Collection

Description

Represents a collecion of DrawingView objects.

Remarks

The DrawingViews collection object has four methods for creating a drawing view. These methods produce different types of drawing views (such as a detail view). The Add method places the initial drawing view (primary view). Because the other add methods create views that are derived from an existing drawing view, they are disabled until the first view has been created. The AddByFold method creates a folded drawing view (either principal or isometric) from an existing drawing view. The AddByAuxiliaryFold method creates an auxiliary view and a view plane from an existing view. The AddByDetailEnvelope method creates a detail view and a detail envelope from an existing view.
