childFolderURLs Get all library folders under given URL.
childPostConfigurations Get all posts by the given parent folder URL. Returns null, if the URL does not exist.
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.

Throw an error if given URL does not point to a valid folder or the URL is read-only. Also throws an error if given folder name is empty.

Properties

Name Description
assetTypeName Get the name of the asset type which can be accessed by the library.
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():

Manufacturing Workflow API Sample Manufacturing Workflow API Sample

This sample script starts by creating a simple component which is then used to describe a milling workflow. It creates a setup, a few operations, pick some tools from a Fusion sample tool library using loops and queries and ends up post-processing the operations out using an NC Program.
