Device Object Preview

Derived from: EcadObject Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::electron" and the header file is <Electron/Devices/Device.h>

PreviewThis 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.

Description

Package variant within a device set; combines a symbol configuration with a specific package.

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().

Samples

Name Description
Electronics Bill of Materials Sample

Prints a bill of materials to the Text Commands window: lines that share the same value, footprint, MPN, and manufacturer are merged—Part lists all designators (sorted), Qty is the count. Indented Value, Footprint, MPN, and Manufacturer lines follow. Empty value, MPN, or manufacturer shows (missing). Omits parts without a package, without a linked 3D footprint name, or not populated for the default assembly variant.
