SymmetricExtentDefinition Object

Derived from: ExtentDefinition Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Features/SymmetricExtentDefinition.h>

Description

A definition object that is used to define the extents of a feature to be symmetric.

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 Statically creates a new SymmetricExtentDefinition object. This is used as input when create a new feature and defining the starting condition.

Properties

Name Description
distance Returns the current extent distance. If the SymmetricExtentDefinition object has been created statically and isn't associated with a feature this will return a ValueInput object. If the SymmetricExtentDefinition object is obtained from a feature this will return a ModelParameter object. You can use properties of the parameter to edit it's value which will result in the feature updating.
isFullLength Gets and sets if the distance defines the full extent length or half the length. A value of True indicates if defines the full length.
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():
parentFeature Returns the parent feature that this definition is associated with. If this definition has been created statically and is not associated with a feature this property will return null.
taperAngle Returns the current taper angle. If the SymmetricExtentDefinition object has been created statically and isn't associated with a feature this will return a ValueInput object. If the SymmetricExtentDefinition object is obtained from a feature this will return a ModelParameter object. You can use properties of the parameter to edit it's value which will result in the feature updating.
