Methods

Name Description
add Creates and inserts a new Preset at the end of the Preset collection of the owning Tool. The new Preset will have the same values as the owning Tool.
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 Get Preset by index.
itemsByName Search presets by name. Returns all presets for which the name matches the given pattern. Compare is case insensitive and characters * and ? are used for wild-card matching.
remove Remove Preset by index from the owning Tool.

Properties

Name Description
count The number of Presets of the owning Tool.
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():
