ChainSelection.inputGeometry Property

Parent Object: ChainSelection
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/GeometrySelections/ChainSelection.h>

Description

Get or set the value of the input geometry. If the value originates from a component instead of an occurrence, or an occurrence outside of the CAM environment, then the subpath is checked against the CAM model tree. For some child classes, this may be the same as the value property, but might also consist of fewer elements. Valid elements depend on the capabilities of the derived class. An exception is thrown if the matching fails or the given entity does not match the expected type.

Syntax

"chainSelection_var" is a variable referencing a ChainSelection object.

# Get the value of the property.
propertyValue = chainSelection_var.inputGeometry

# Set the value of the property.
chainSelection_var.inputGeometry = propertyValue
"chainSelection_var" is a variable referencing a ChainSelection object.
#include <Cam/GeometrySelections/ChainSelection.h>

// Get the value of the property.
std::vector<Ptr<Base>> propertyValue = chainSelection_var->inputGeometry();

// Set the value of the property, where value_var is a Base.
bool returnValue = chainSelection_var->inputGeometry(value_var);

Property Value

This is a read/write property whose value is an array of type Base.

Samples

Name Description
Hole and Pocket Recognition API Sample

This sample script demonstrates three different methods for feature recognition: one for holes and two for pockets.

The script starts by creating a simple component which is then used to demonstrate the three methods. After the features are recognised they are coloured and milling and drilling operations are created for each feature.

RecognizedHoleGroup returns a list of BRepFaces that can be used as selections for the drilling operation. RecognizedPocket and PocketRecognitionSelection do not return BRepFaces, and their output needs additional processing before the output can be used for creating machining operations.

The sample script demonstrates a couple of different methods, including finding the pocket BRepFaces and creating sketches from the recognized pockets.
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.
