MeasureManager Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Application/MeasureManager.h>

Description

The MeasurementManager class provides some generic measurement utilities that can be used for most entity types.

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().
getOrientedBoundingBox Calculates an oriented bounding box for the input geometry. The bounding box is tight fitting to the input geometry and is particularly useful when you want to calculate a bounding box that is not oriented to be parallel to the model x-y-z plane.

The height direction is automatically determined using the length and width directions.
measureAngle Measures the angle between the input geometry.
measureMinimumDistance Measures the minimum distance between the two input geometries.

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.
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():
