PMIGeometricValue Object Preview

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

Represents a value that can be associated with a PMIAnnotation, such as a diameter value.

Includes information about the value, whether it is overriden and any associated tolerance.

This class has two main uses:

- to retrieve the values from a PMIAnnotation (e.g. PMIImportedDimension)

- to define input values in PMI creation input objects (e.g. PMIHoleThreadNoteInput)

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().
create Create a transient PMIGeometricValue object.

The default properties are hasValue = false, value = 0, and tolerance with hasTolerances = false.

Properties

Name Description
hasValue Gets and sets whether there is a value associated with the geometric value.

If set to true, the value will be displayed in the graphics, while also stored as data in the PMI. Setting this to true will also require setting a value, as the default is 0.
isOverriddenValue Gets whether the value has been overridden.
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():
tolerance Gets and sets the tolerance associated with this geometric value.
value Gets and sets the value associated with this object in cm or radians.

Setting this will also set hasValue and isOverriddenValue to true.
