Synopsis

viewFit [-allObjects] [-animate boolean] [-fitFactor float] [-namespace string] [camera]

viewFit is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

The viewFit command positions the specified camera so its point-of-view contains all selected objects other than itself. If no objects are selected, everything is fit to the view (excepting cameras, lights, and sketching plannes). The fit-factor, if specified, determines how much of the view should be filled. If a camera is not specified, the camera in the active view will be used. After the camera is moved, its center of interest is set to the center of the bounding box of the objects.
