FlatPatternDrawingViewSettings Object Preview

Derived from: DrawingViewOptions Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::drawing" and the header file is <Drawing/Drawing/FlatPatternDrawingViewSettings.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

Object that provides access to the Drawing View Defaults for sheet metal flat pattern source models. In addition to the standard drawing view defaults, flat pattern views can display bend extents.

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
autoCenterLineOptions Returns the AutoCenterLineOptions object that controls automatic center line creation for drawing views.
autoCenterMarkOptions Returns the AutoCenterMarkOptions object that controls automatic center mark creation for drawing views.
isShowBendExtents Gets and sets whether bend extents are displayed in flat pattern drawing views.
isShowInterferenceEdges Gets and sets whether interference edges are displayed in drawing views.
isShowThreadEdges Gets and sets whether thread edges are displayed in drawing views.
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():
style Gets and sets the display style for drawing views. This defaults to VisibleEdgesDrawingViewStyleType.
tangentEdgesType Gets and sets how tangent edges are displayed in drawing views. This defaults to OffTangentEdgeDisplayType.
