MachineQuery Object

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

Description

MachineQuery defines the query to access Machines.

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().
execute	Executes the query for specific machines based on the query's properties.

Properties

Name	Description
isValid	Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
location	The location specifies the location to search in the machine library. Setting the location clears any previous specified URL.
model	The case-insensitive model specifies the model of the machine. The default empty model applies to all machines.
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():
url	The URL specifies the location and folder to search for in the machine library. Setting the URL updates the location.
vendor	The case-insensitive vendor specifies the vendor of the machine. The default empty vendor applies to all machines.
