ChoiceParameterValue Object

Derived from: ParameterValue Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/Operations/ChoiceParameterValue.h>

Description

A parameter value that is a list of choices.

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().

getChoices

Method that returns the list of available choices.

Properties

Name Description
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():
parent Get the parameter object that the value is associated with.
value Get or set the value of the parameter. This value will correspond to one of the available values of the parameter.

Samples

Name Description
Post Toolpaths API Sample

Demonstrates posting toolpaths in the active document using an NC program: import a post configuration from the post library, choose which setups or operations to include, set NC program and post parameters, and run NCProgram.postProcess.

Before running: Run from Scripts and Add-Ins with a design that contains at least one CAM setup with toolpaths. The script prompts for what to post (all setups, first setup, or first operation) and optionally opens the NC file when complete. It may offer to switch to the MANUFACTURE workspace.
