FeatureControlFrameInput Object Preview

Derived from: DrawingSymbolInput Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::drawing" and the header file is <Drawing/Symbols/FeatureControlFrameInput.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 input object that defines properties needed to create a feature control frame symbol.

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().

Properties

Name Description
applicationModifier Gets and sets the application modifier for this feature control frame. This defaults to NoneSymbolApplicationModifierType.
bottomNote Gets and sets the bottom note content. Obtain a SymbolPaletteList from this property, use append, appendText, and clear to build the content, then assign the same object back to this property to apply it.
firstFrame Gets and sets the first (primary) frame content.
isSecondFrameEnabled Gets and sets whether the second frame compartment is included. When false, secondFrame properties are ignored.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
leaderPoints Gets and sets the ordered leader bend points in sheet space, in drawing length units (millimeters when the drawing standard includes ISO; inches when the standard is ASME without ISO). Required for datum identifier creation. Must contain at least two points; placementPoint defines the final box location. To specify placement only with no separate leader bend, use the same sheet-space coordinates for both leader points and placementPoint. Build each point with DrawingPoint.create.
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():
placementPoint Gets and sets the datum identifier box location in sheet space, in drawing length units (millimeters when the drawing standard includes ISO; inches when the standard is ASME without ISO). Required for datum identifier creation. To specify placement only with no separate leader bend, use the same sheet-space coordinates as both leaderPoints. Build the point with DrawingPoint.create.
secondFrame Gets and sets the second frame content. Used when isSecondFrameEnabled is true.
topNote Gets and sets the top note content. Obtain a SymbolPaletteList from this property, use append, appendText, and clear to build the content, then assign the same object back to this property to apply it.
viewCurve Gets and sets the view curve the symbol attaches to. Required for datum identifier creation.
