EcadDesign Object

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

Preview 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.

Description

Represents an electronics design that contains both schematic and board representations.

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().
deleteEntities	Deletes the specified set of entities that are associated with this product.
findAttributes	Find attributes attached to objects in this product that match the group and or attribute name. This does not find attributes attached directly to the Product or Document objects but finds the attributes attached to entities within the product. The search string for both the groupName and attributeName arguments can be either an absolute name value, or a regular expression. With an absolute name, the search string must match the entire groupName or attributeName, including case. An empty string will match everything. For example if you have an attribute group named "MyStuff" that contains the attribute "Length1", using the search string "MyStuff" as the group name and "Length1" as the attribute name will find the attributes with those names. Searching for "MyStuff" as the group name and "" as the attribute name will find all attributes that have "MyStuff" as the group name. Regular expressions provide a more flexible way of searching. To use a regular expression, prefix the input string for the groupName or attributeName arguments with "re:". The regular expression much match the entire group or attribute name. For example, if you have a group that contains attributes named "Length1", "Length2", "Width1", and "Width2" and want to find any of the length attributes you can use a regular expression using the string "re:Length.*". For more information on attributes see the Attributes topic in the user manual.

Properties

Name	Description
attributes	Returns the collection of attributes associated with this product.
board	PCB in this design.
isValid	Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
name	File name of this document.
namedViews	Returns the NamedViews object associated with this product. The NamedViews collection provides access to the named views defined in this product and supports the creation of new named views.
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():
parentDocument	Returns the parent Document object.
productType	Returns the product type name of this product. A list of all of the possible product types can be obtained by using the Application.supportedProductTypes property.
schematic	Schematic in this design.
selectionSets	Returns the SelectionSets object associated with this product. If the product does not support selection sets, null is returned. The SelectionSets object is used to create and access existing selection sets.
unitsManager	Returns the UnitsManager object associated with this product.
workspaces	Returns the workspaces associated with this product.
