Zoom & Center to a Lat / Lon location using Autodesk Design Review API

By Partha Sarkar

In Autodesk Design Review using
the “Center to Coordinates” UI tool we can set the center for a Map to a
specific coordinate value entered through the User Interface as seen in the
screenshot below –

Using ECompositeViewer.centerToCoordinates(coordType,
x, y) we can replicate the above mentioned UI tool command. You need to pass on the correct Lat & Lon values
in context to the page you are trying to view, e.g.

dwfView.centerToCoordinates(2,
-12.562387, 131.073166) // Lat & Lon values should be correct to view and
zoom to your dataset

Note that, to use this API, sections in the
DWF must contain Georeferenced properties.
This API can be used in a URL to open a DWF with
a Map section and Center the view to the coordinates provided. However, when
used as part of a URL the coordinates must be within the section that is being
viewed.
