Which view function are you calling? What does this command return?
which -all view
My suspicion is that you made (or someone else made for you) a copy of view.m outside the directory where the version included with MATLAB is located, and you're calling that copy. That won't work. The view function included in MATLAB depends on at least one function (getAxesTransformationMatrix) that is only accessible to functions in the directory where the view function included with MATLAB lives.
