SYNOPSIS

status [subcommands]

DESCRIPTION

Without a subcommand, the status command returns the following information: current state, view size of the current display manager, the conversion factor from local model units to the base units (mm) stored in the database, and the view matrices of the current display manager. Status accepts the following subcommands:

state

Get the current state of MGED (i.e., �VIEWING,� �SOL PICK,� �SOL EDIT,� �OBJ PICK,� �OBJ PATH,� �OBJ EDIT,� or �VERTPICK�).

Viewscale

Get the view scale.

base2local

Get the conversion factor from base units (mm) to local units.

local2base

Get the conversion factor from local units to base units (mm).

toViewcenter

Get the matrix that describes the location of the view center.

Viewrot

Get the matrix that describes the view orientation.

model2view

Get the model to view conversion matrix.

view2model

Get the view to model conversion matrix.

model2objview

Get the model to view conversion matrix. This matrix also includes changes made during editing.

objview2model

Get the view to model conversion matrix. This matrix also includes changes made during editing.

help

Print the usage message.

EXAMPLES

The three examples show the use of the status command with and without subcommands.

Example 1. Get default information such as current state, view size of the current display manager, the conversion factor from local model units to the base units (mm) stored in the database, and the view matrices of the current display manager.

mged>status

Gets default information (i.e., state, view size, local2base, toViewcenter, Viewrot, model2view and view2model).

Example 2. Get the view rotation matrix.

mged>status Viewrot

Gets the view rotation matrix.

Example 3. Get the edit state.

mged>status state

Gets the edit state.
