MultiAxisRetractAndReconfigureSettings Object Preview

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

PreviewThis 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.

Description

Settings for multi-axis retract and reconfigure.

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
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():
retractPreference The retract preference. See MultiAxisRetractPreference values for more details.
rewindPreference The rewind preferece. See MultiAxisRewindPreference values for more details.
safePlungeFeedrate The safe plunge feedrate for plunge moves. A plunge rate is the speed at which the tool is driven down into the material when starting a cut. It varies depending on the tool and material. Plunging too fast may damage the tip of the cutter. (cm/min)
safeRetractDistance The length of the retract moves along the tool axis, to perform a rewind.
safeRetractFeedrate The safe retract feedrate for retract moves. (cm/min)
stockExpansion Defines the stock expansion for computing retract moves in rewinds.
