MachineElement Object

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

Description

Base class for objects that compose a machine.

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
elementId	Identifier for this element. Unique within an element type.
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():
typeId	Identifier for this type of machine element.
