viewFit( [camera] , [allObjects=boolean], [animate=boolean], [fitFactor=float], [namespace=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
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.
