Pin Object Preview

Derived from: EcadObject Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::electron" and the header file is <Electron/Pins/Pin.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

Electrical connection point in a symbol; defines position, direction, and display.

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
angle Rotation angle in degrees, counter-clockwise from the positive X axis (0, 90, 180, or 270).
contact Contact (pad or SMD) assigned to this pin through the device connect map.
contacts Contacts (pads or SMDs) assigned to this pin through the device connect map.
direction Electrical direction of this pin.
function Graphical symbol (inverter or clock) drawn next to this pin.
id Identifier of the object.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
length Graphical length of the pin wire in the symbol.
name Pin name as defined in the library.
net Net name to which this pin is connected (schematic context only).
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():
route Route connection type for this pin (All or Any).
swapLevel Swap level for pin swapping; pins with the same level can be swapped.
visible Which name is displayed for this pin.
x X coordinate of the connection point, in internal units.
y Y coordinate of the connection point, in internal units.
