MachiningPlan Object Preview

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/AutomatedCAM/MachiningPlan.h>

PreviewThis 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.

Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.

Description

The machining plan returned by machining plan analysis.

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().

create

Creates a machining plan by running machining plan analysis for the given inputs. Does not modify the document.

execute

Creates CAM operations from this plan and starts toolpath generation. Uses the analysis session from ; does not re-run analysis.

Properties

Name Description
featureCount Returns the total number of features in the plan.
features Returns all recognized features in the plan.
isAnalysisValid Returns true if analysis completed successfully.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
machinedPocketCount Returns the number of pockets covered by at least one planned operation.
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():
plannedToolpaths Returns all planned toolpaths in the plan.
processSteps Returns the sequenced process steps in the plan.
