  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Std ViewFitSelection button.
    • Select the View → Standard views → Fit selection option from the menu.
    • Select the Fit selection option from the 3D view context menu.

To change the view to 'fit selection' the SendMsgToActiveView method of the FreeCADGui object can be used. This method is not available if FreeCAD is in console mode.
