This functionality is provided as a preview
of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the
Fusion API and Scripts forum.
Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly
break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use
any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.
Central configuration hub for automatic drawing preferences. Access globalPreferences for sheet generation toggles, and type-specific preferences for each sheet type.
| 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(). |
| Name | Description |
| animationPreferences | Gets preferences for animation/exploded view sheets. Enable via GlobalPreferences.generateAnimationSheet. |
| componentPreferences | Gets preferences for individual component (part) sheets: views, dimensions, view appearance. |
| flatPatternPreferences | Gets preferences for sheet metal flat pattern sheets (unfolded state with bend information). |
| foldedModelPreferences | Gets preferences for sheet metal folded model sheets (formed state). Complements flat pattern sheets. |
| globalPreferences | Gets GlobalPreferences for sheet generation toggles, auto-dimensioning, and component omission rules. |
| isValid | Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference. |
| mainAssemblyPreferences | Gets preferences for main (top-level) assembly sheets: ISO views, orthogonal views, dimensions, view appearance. |
| 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(): |
| subAssemblyPreferences | Gets preferences for sub-assembly sheets: ISO views, orthogonal views, dimensions, view appearance. |
