Viewport Center in Modelspace (View Target)

I am trying to scale and move the modelspace target location on already created viewports in multiple layouts. I used the AutoCAD API viewport class properties. I don’t get any errors when using these to edit viewports, however the locked and scale function work but the viewports aren’t being moved. I have attached my python code.

clr.AddReference('AecBaseMgd')
clr.AddReference('AecPropDataMgd')
clr.AddReference('AeccDbMgd')

if len(viewports) != len(centerpoints):
    out = "WARNING: Viewports and Centerpoints do not match length"
else:
    for i, viewport in enumerate(viewports):
        vp = viewport.InternalDBObject
        vp.UpgradeOpen()
        cntr = centerpoints[i]
        pt = Point3d(cntr.X,cntr.Y,0)
        """

        ed.SwitchToModelSpace()
        view = ViewTableRecord()
        view.IsPaperspaceView = True
        view.CenterPoint = midPnt
        ed.SetCurrentView(view)

You will need to lock the adoc and make the changes inside a transaction
I don’t currently have access to my workstation with C3D, however if you start with the standard python code the information is there
