LinearMachineAxisInput Object

Derived from: MachineAxisInput Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/Machine/LinearMachineAxisInput.h>

Description

Object that defines the properties required to create a new linear machine axis object.

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().

Name	Description
axisType	The type of axis. This axis type determines which parameters of this object are valid to be accessed or modified.
direction	The unit vector that represents the direction along which the linear axis will move. This vector is in the machine's coordinate system (e.g. the X axis is always (1,0,0)).
homePosition	Specifies the value that this axis returns to when the machine is homed. Units are cm for linear axes or radians for rotary axes.
isValid	Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
name	The user facing name of this axis.
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():
physicalRange	Range of possible values for this axis. Units are cm for linear axes or radians for rotary axes.
