Breaking Changes Coming to the New Assembly Constraint Functionality
The last release introduced the API for the new assembly constraint functionality. It was a preview feature. In this release, the feature remains a preview, and no changes have been made to the API. However, in the next release, the API for assembly constraints will undergo a complete change. This is why new functionality is released as a preview feature, allowing us to gather feedback about the API or feature while still maintaining the flexibility to make changes. If you've written any code using the existing assembly constraints, be prepared to make adjustments in the next release. The interface is undergoing slight changes, and additional functionality will be added. The names of some of the associated objects will also be changing.
Assembly User Interface Changes
In the last release, there was a change to how the assembly functionality is provided in the user interface. It was a preview feature that limited those who could enable it. That option has been removed, and the UI behaves as before. However, a new preview, called "Part and Assembly Design Workflow," has an even greater impact. It's a private preview feature, and for those who have access, it is turned on by default in this release. When this feature is enabled, the UI layout changes, and not all elements are accessible through the API. As a result, some custom commands created by add-ins may not be available. If you are a Fusion Insider, you have access to this new preview and are encouraged to test your commands. If they're not available when the preview is enabled, there's currently no alternative except to disable the preview and revert to the previous UI layout. API access to this new UI layout will be available in the future.
Support for Text Parameters
There's new functionality in Fusion that will make many people happy, and there is API support for some of it. The first part of this is the ability to create parameters with text values. The API fully supports creating, querying, and editing these new types of parameters. To support this, when adding a parameter, you can specify the unit type as "Text". Also, the Parameter object now supports the valueType and textValue properties, so you can determine if a parameter is this new type and get and set the value of the parameter.
The related piece is the ability to create parametric sketch text that uses parameters. The API doesn't yet support this. Watch for it in an upcoming release.
Full API Support for the Emboss Feature
The Emboss feature has been available in Fusion for a long time, but it has had minimal API support. Now, the API provides full support for the Emboss feature. You can perform all actions in the API that are available through the user interface. It is a preview feature in this release to allow us to make any needed changes based on feedback, but we don't expect the preview to last long.
Full API Support for Tapped and Clearance Holes
This is another case where the functionality has been available in Fusion for quite some time, and the API is now catching up. The API now has full support for tapped and clearance holes. Many new properties have been added to the HoleFeatureInput and HoleInput objects. The full list is shown below.
Thicken Feature Enhancement
In this release, Fusion has enhanced the thicken feature to support a rounded thicken, where only sharp thickens were previously supported. A thickenType property is now supported on the ThickenFeatureInput and ThickenFeature objects.
Full Round Fillet Support
Here's another one where the API is catching up with the product. The API now has full support for the full round option when creating a fillet feature. Previously, a FullRoundFilletFeature object existed, but it only supported basic feature functionality and lacked support for creating or querying full round fillet features. The FullRoundFilletFeature object has been retired since the full round functionality is now part of the FilletFeature object.
Full API Support for the New Hem Feature
There is a new sheet metal feature that most of you may not be aware of yet, as it is a preview feature and is currently only available to a select few. However, the API was implemented concurrently with the feature and is exposed in the API as the Hem feature. Just like the feature, this API is also a preview and could still change before it is released.
Support for Replacing Standard Components in Configurations
A new capability supported by configurations is the ability to replace a standard component in an assembly. API supported has also been added through the new ConfigurationInsertStandardDesignColumn, ConfigurationReplaceDesigns, ConfigurationReplaceDesign, and ConfigurationInsertStandardDesignCell objects.
Arrange Feature
The API for the Arrange feature has graduated from preview to full support.
Part Number and Description Changes
This was also in the last "What's New", but because the migration of hubs to support the new collaborative editing is an ongoing process and many of you haven't seen the effects yet, it's being included here again.
As part of new functionality coming to support collaborative editing, some changes have been made to Fusion and the API. The biggest change is that the part number and description properties of the Component object now store and retrieve data from the cloud, rather than the design. This change only applies to files that exist within a hub where concurrent editing has been enabled, so the impact is limited. You can check for this by using the new DataHub.isCollaborativeEditingEnabled property.
When this is enabled, there are two things you'll likely notice. The first difference is in performance when using the partNumber and description properties of the Component object. This is because getting and setting these values is no longer a local operation, but rather uses the cloud to perform these tasks.
Another change is that the cloud data associated with a component, where this data is saved, doesn't exist until the document that contains the component has been saved. The bigger change is that the part number and description can no longer be set until the document containing the component has been saved. These properties can't be set until the document is saved because the component and its properties aren't available on the cloud until the document is saved. You can read more about this in the new MFGDM API user manual topic.
Additional Mesh Feature Support
A significant portion of the Mesh functionality was released as preview functionality in the last release. There was an oversight that the properties to access three of the features were missing on the Features collection object. This has been corrected with the addition of the Features.meshConvertFeatures, Features.meshSeparateFeatures, and Features.meshReverseNormalFeatures properties.
Control the Visibility of JointOrigins
The isJointOriginsFolderLightBulbOn has been added to the Component object so you can turn on/off the display of all joint origins in a component.
User Manual Update for Icons
The Command Icons section of the User Interface topic in the API User Manual has been updated with the latest information regarding SVG file support and icons for the various user interface themes.
The CAMParameter object has been enhanced with several new properties: fullTitle, isVisible, userDefaultExpression, systemDefaultExpression, and saveExpressionAsUserDefault. Also, the method CAMParameters.resetToSystemDefaults was added to reset all parameters to their default values.
The CAMLibrary object now supports the doesPathExist method to make it easy to check if a path exists.
A lot of new functionality was added to support defining machines using the API. You can see a long list below.
When using the Documents.open method, there is an argument to specify whether the document should be opened visibly. This worked quite a while ago, but has been broken. It now functions as expected and will open a document invisibly.
design_oneBETU4 reported a problem on the forum about getting back results when exploding text in a sketch. This has been fixed.
alasdair_scott2DJBH reported a problem on the forum about isLightBulbOn property of the Occurrence object not behaving correctly. It works now.
Custom Features is a new functionality that is currently in preview. This release has nothing new for custom features, but we still encourage you to try it and let us know your thoughts. You can learn more about it in the Custom Feature topic in the API User Manual. There are also two add-in samples referenced in that document that you can use to see the functionality.
This functionality is provided as a preview of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the Fusion API and Scripts Forum. However, because this previews future functionality, it may change, breaking any existing programs that use it. Therefore, you should never deliver programs that utilize any preview capabilities.

Using the setLengthAndOffset method will have the side effect of setting this property to false. |
| HoleFeatureInput.isModeled | Gets and sets if the thread is physical or cosmetic thread. A value of true indicates a physical thread. It defaults to false. This property is only used when creating a tapped hole, which means the setToTappedHole method has been called. Otherwise this property is ignored. |
| HoleFeatureInput.setLengthAndOffset | Sets the length and offset of the thread of a tapped hole. This method is only used when creating a tapped hole, which means the setToTappedHole method has been called. Otherwise calling this method will fail. By default the isFullLength property is true which means the thread is the full length of the hole and there is no offset. Calling this method will have the side effect of setting the isFullLength property to false. |
| HoleFeatureInput.setToClearanceHole | Sets the hole to be a clearance hole of the size specified by the ClearanceHoleInfo object. |
| HoleFeatureInput.setToSimpleHole | This property sets the hole's tap to be "simple", which means that it will not have any tap and will be a simple hole. When a new input is created, it defaults to being a simple hole. |

| ThreadDataQuery.create | Static method to create a new ThreadDataQuery object. The ThreadDataQuery object is a utility object that provides methods to query for the valid thread definitions defined in Fusion. This object provides similar functionality as the Thread and Hole command dialogs to find valid thread types, designations and classes which can be used to create thread and tapped hole features. |
| ThreadDataQuery.isTapered | Returns if this ThreadDataQuery was created to query for standard or tapered threads. |
| ThreadFeature.hole | If this thread feature is was created as the result of creating a tapped hole, this property will return the associated hole feature. If this is a standard thread feature, this property will return null. |
| ThreadInfo.create | This method creates a new ThreadInfo object that can be used to create a thread or tapped-hole feature. The ThreadInfo object defines the type and size of the thread to create. When creating a thread, the type and size of the thread are defined by specifying the thread type, designation, and class. Fusion uses this information to look up the full details of the thread in tables delivered with Fusion. The ThreadDataQuery object can be used to determine valid input for this information. The thread type implicitly defines if the thread is standard or tapered. Tapered threads can only be used when creating tapped holes and are not supported for thread features. |
| ThreadInfo.isRightHanded | Gets and sets if the thread is right or left-handed thread. A value of true indicates a right-handed thread. It defaults to true. |
