PMIAnnotations Object Preview

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/PMI/PMIAnnotations.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

Provides access to the all the PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) in a component.

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().
item Gets the specified PMI using an index into the collection.
itemByName Gets the specified PMI from the collection using a name.
itemsByEntities Gets all the PMI from the collection that are associated with the specified geometric entities and optionally match the specified PMI types.

This is useful for finding PMI that reference specific geometric features.
itemsByTypes Gets all the PMI from the collection that match the specified PMI types.

Properties

Name Description
count Gets the number of PMI in the collection. PMIFolders are included in this count.
holeThreadNotes Gets the PMIHoleThreadNotes collection.
importedDimensions Gets the PMIImportedDimensions collection.
importedFolders Gets the PMIImportedFolders collection.
importedGDTDatums Gets the PMIImportedGDTDatums collection.
importedGeometricTolerances Gets the PMIImportedGeometricTolerances collection.
importedGraphicals Gets the PMIImportedGraphicals collection.
importedNotes Gets the PMIImportedNotes collection.
importedSurfaceTextures Gets the PMIImportedSurfaceTextures collection.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
leaderLineNotes Gets the PMILeaderLineNotes collection.
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():
