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().
staticTypeId Identifying name for all elements of this type. Pass this to the itemByType or itemById methods of MachineElements to filter to elements of this type.

Properties

Name Description
elementId Identifier for this element. Unique within an element type.
isToolChangerAutomatic If your machine has an automatic tool changer, set this to true. For machines with manual tool change capabilities, set this to false.
isToolPreloadSupported If your machine has a staging function for the tool changer, set this to true. For machines without staging tool change capabilities, set this to false.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
maxToolCount Property that represents the maximum number of tools available in the tool magazine, or the maximum number of tools that can be programmed in the control.
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():
typeId Identifier for this type of machine element.
