Methods

Name Description
add Adds an existing appearance to the Favorites list
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 Returns the specified Appearance using an index into the collection.
itemById Returns the Appearance by it's internal unique ID.
itemByName Returns the specified appearance using the name as seen in the user interface. This often isn't a reliable way of accessing a specific appearance because appearances are not required to be unique.

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.
