CAMParameters Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/Operations/CAMParameters.h>

Description

Collection that provides access to the parameters of an existing operation.

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 Function that returns the specified parameter using an index into the collection.
itemByName Returns the parameter of the specified id (internal name).

Properties

Name Description
count The number of items in the collection.
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():

Samples

Name Description
CAM Parameter Modification API Sample Demonstrates changing parameters of existing toolpaths.
Create Setups From Hole Recognition API Sample

This sample script demonstrates how to create a correctly oriented setup using Hole Recognition functionality.

The Fusion Manufacturing Extension is required for Hole Recognition.

The script starts by opening a sample model from the CAM Samples folder via its URN. The model comprises a 3 way coupling containing holes in various orientations and mounted on a fixture. A reference setup is created for the model using a simple stock mode and offsets. The Hole Recognition feature of the Fusion Manufacturing Extension creates 5 hole groups containing 11 holes between them. For each unique hole group vector captured, a new setup is created and its orientation transformed to match the vector.

Manufacturing Workflow API Sample Manufacturing Workflow API Sample

This sample script starts by creating a simple component which is then used to describe a milling workflow. It creates a setup, a few operations, pick some tools from a Fusion sample tool library using loops and queries and ends up post-processing the operations out using an NC Program.
