AnimationManager Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Animation/AnimationManager.h>

Description

Provides access to the animation functionality in Fusion and is accessed from the Design object.

Methods

Name Description
activateAnimationWorkspace

Activates the Animation workspace for this design. If the workspace is already active, nothing happens and it remains active.

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
activeStoryboard Returns the active storyboard in this Animation.
isAnimationWorkspaceActive Returns if the Animation workspace for this Design is active or not. Returns true if the workspace is active.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
isWatermarkShown Gets and sets whether to show text watermark in cavas when the view recording is off.
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():
parentDesign Returns the parent Design this AnimationManager was obtained from.
recordingMode Gets and sets the recording mode setting.
storyboards Collection that provides access to all of the existing storyboards in an animation and supports the ability to create new storyboards.
