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
coolants The coolants that this tool station can use. See MachineToolStationCoolant for possible values.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
maxToolDiameter The maximum diameter in cm of the tool that can be held by this tool station.
maxToolLength The maximum length in cm of the tool that can be held by this tool station.
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():
toolInterface The type of interface that this tool station uses. (e.g. BT40, CAPTO C5, HSK A100, SK50, etc.) Note: All newline characters will be removed, and if the string contains only ASCII characters, it will be converted to uppercase.
