Line2D Object

Derived from: Curve2D Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/Line2D.h>

Description

Transient 2D line. A transient line is not displayed or saved in a document. Transient 2D lines are used as a wrapper to work with raw 2D line information. They are created statically using the create method of the Line2D class.

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().
copy Creates and returns a copy of this line object.
create Creates a transient line.
getData Gets all of the data defining the line segment.
set Sets all of the data defining the line segment.
transformBy Transforms this curve in 2D space.

Properties

Name Description
asNurbsCurve Returns a NURBS curve that is geometrically identical to the line.
curveType Returns the type of geometry this curve represents.
endPoint Gets and sets the end point of the line.
evaluator Returns an evaluator object that lets you perform additional evaluations on the curve.
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():
startPoint Gets and sets the start point of the line.
