ContourFlangeInput Object Preview

Derived from: FlangeFeatureInput Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/SheetMetal/ContourFlangeInput.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

Defines the input properties required for creating a contour flange feature.

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().

setOneSideDirection

Sets the direction to be one-sided.

setSymmetricDirection

Sets the direction to be symmetric.

setTwoSidesDirection

Sets the direction to be two-sided.

Properties

Name Description
bendRadiusOverride Bend-radius override for this contour flange input. Never null; check isOverridden to see if active.
direction Returns the extent direction of the contour flange. This defaults to OneSideFlangeDirection when the input is set indirectly using one of the set methods on the input object to set the direction.
distance Gets and sets the extrude distance when the direction is set to one side or symmetric. It also returns the first distance when a two-sided extent is defined.
distanceTwo Gets and sets the extrude distance when a two-sided extent is defined. If a one-sided or symmetric extent is defined, this property will return null and setting it does nothing.
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():
operation Gets and sets the type of operation performed. This defaults to creating a new body in the component the FlangeFeatures collection was obtained from. In a hybrid design you can also choose to create a new component where the flange will be created.
orientation Gets and sets the orientation of the contour flange. This defines in which direction the thickness is applied, and defaults to SideOneFlangeOrientation.
profiles Gets and sets the array of open profiles that define the shape of the contour flange. The profiles can be in different sketches but must be parallel to one another.
