PropertyGroup Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Application/PropertyGroup.h>

Description

Represents a group of properties and provides access to the properties.

Methods

Name Description
classType Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().
item Returns the specified property from the group using an index into the gropu.
itemById Returns the specified property from the group using the unique ID of the property. The ID is consistent and can't be modified by the user and isn't affected by localization.
itemByName Returns the specified Property using the name of the property.

Properties

Name Description
count Returns the number of properties within the group.
id Returns the unique ID of this property.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
name Returns the name of this group as seen in the user interface. This name is localized and can change based on the current language
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.

It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():
parent Returns the parent of this group. Typically this will be a Component.
