AlongPathTextDefinition Object

Derived from: SketchTextDefinition Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Sketch/AlongPathTextDefinition.h>

Description

Defines the information for text that follows along a path.

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().

Properties

Name Description
characterSpacing Gets and sets the spacing between the characters. This is an additional spacing to apply that is defined as a percentage of the default spacing. A spacing of 0 indicates no additional spacing. A spacing of 50 indicates to use the default plus 50% of the default.
horizontalAlignment Gets and sets the horizontal alignment of the text with respect to the path curve.
isAbovePath Gets and sets if the text should be positioned above or below the path entity.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
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():
parentSketchText Returns the SketchText object this definition is associated with. This property will return null in the case the definition object was obtained from a SketchTextInput object because the SketchText object does not yet exist.
path Get and sets the entity that defines the path for the text. This can be a SketchCurve or BRepEdge object.
