MachineAvoidDirectSelection Object

Derived from: MachineAvoidSelectionBase Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/MachineAvoidSelections/MachineAvoidDirectSelection.h>

Description

Machine/avoid direct selection class. Represents a group of direct selections that the users can make (faces, bodies, components and higher level entities). Provides access to the stored selections.

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
axialOffset Axial offset - sets the corresponding axial offset value based on the machine mode
combinedOffset Combined offset - clearance and stock to leave based on the machine mode This only applies to strategies that use a single offset value (Advanced Swarf, Multi-Axis Clearing, Multi-Axis Finishing, Deburr and Geodesic)
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.
inputGeometry Get or set the value of the input geometry.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
machineMode Desired machining mode. The default is Avoid. The current machining mode will determine which value the radial and axial offset functions refer to. When set to Machine, the radial and axial offset methods will read/set the stock to leave parameter. When set to Avoid, the radial and axial offset methods will read/set the clearance value, and the Fixture mode will map to the relative fixture clearance value.
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():
radialOffset Radial offset - sets the corresponding radial offset value based on the machine mode
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. For OperationInputs, the return value may not be the same as for Operations, as additional geometry selected by child classes is not evaluated for OperationInputs.
warning PreviewGets the last warning string encountered after the selection was applied to a parent.
