## 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.

Viewscale

  Get the view scale.

base2local

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

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.
