GeometrySelection Object

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

Description

Base parent class for all selection classes. All selections are currently restricted to B-Rep entities or sketches.

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().

Properties

Name Description
error PreviewGets the last warning string encountered after the selection was applied to a parent.
hasError PreviewGets if errors were encountered when applying the selection to a a parent.
hasWarning PreviewGets if warnings were encountered when applying the selection to a parent.
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():
value Returns the resulting value of the selection. In general, this returns the input selection, but child classes can override the return value if needed. Refer to the child classes comments for further details. The collection may contain duplicates.
warning PreviewGets the last warning string encountered after the selection was applied to a parent.
