This functionality is provided as a preview
of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the
Fusion API and Scripts forum.
Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly
break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use
any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.
| 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(). |
| clear | Clears all entries. |
| createNewMachineAvoidDirectSelectionGroup | Creates a new machine avoid group and adds it to the end of the collection. |
| defaultGroup | Function that returns the specified machine/avoid default group selection object using the group type. Default groups contain surfaces that have a specific meaning within the toolpath operation, for example Model, Fixture, Drive etc. |
| item | Function that returns the specified machine/avoid group selection object using an index into the collection. |
| remove | Function that removes the specified group object using an index in the collection. |
| removeByObject | Function that removes the specified group object from the collection. |
| sync | Function that synchronizes the selections and properties of the default groups from the current operation. This is needed when there are changes made to parameters that drive the default groups (e.g. Setup model or fixture selection changes to be reflected in the MachineAvoidGroups object on the API side). WARNING: This function must not be called before applyMachineAvoidGroups, because temporary group settings and selections will not have been stored in the operation object and will be overwritten. |

| count | The number of items in the collection. |
| 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(): |
