TimelineGroups Object

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

Description

Provides access to the time line groups within a design and provides methods to create new groups.

Methods

Name Description
add Creates a new group within the timeline. The sequential set of items defined by the start and end indices will be included in the group. A group cannot contains another group so none of the items being grouped can be a group of this will fail.
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 Function that returns the specified timeline group using an index into the collection.

Properties

Name Description
count Returns the number of items in the collection.
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():
