Preview This 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.

Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/SheetMetal/EdgeFlangeInput.h>

Description

Gets and sets the angle of the flange. The default value is 90 degrees. A valid ValueInput is one that defines an angle. If a real value is provided it will be interpreted as radians. If a string is provided it should be in the format used in the user interface. If no units are specified, it uses degrees for the units but you can also specify the units such as "0.785 rad". You can also define equations like "angleParam / 2" where angleParam is the name of an existing parameter that defines an angle.

"edgeFlangeInput_var" is a variable referencing an EdgeFlangeInput object.

# Get the value of the property.
propertyValue = edgeFlangeInput_var.angle

# Set the value of the property.
edgeFlangeInput_var.angle = propertyValue

"edgeFlangeInput_var" Is a variable referencing an EdgeFlangeInput Object.

#include <Fusion/SheetMetal/EdgeFlangeInput.h>

// Get the value of the property.
ValueInput propertyValue = edgeFlangeInput_var->angle();

// Set the value of the property, where value_var is a ValueInput.
bool returnValue = edgeFlangeInput_var->angle(value_var);

"edgeFlangeInput_var" Is a variable referencing an EdgeFlangeInput Object.

// Get the value of the property.
propertyValue = edgeFlangeInput_var.angle;

// Set the value of the property.
edgeFlangeInput_var.angle = propertyValue;

Property Value

This is a read/write property whose value is a ValueInput.

Samples

Flange Feature Sample

Demonstrates accessing and creating sheet metal flange features including base flange, contour flange, and edge flange.

To run the sample script, have a design open in Fusion's DESIGN workspace that contains a sheet metal body in the root component. The body must have at least one linear edge on its outside that is valid for a flange. A design created with the Sheet Metal > Create > Flange commands, or any design containing a base flange, satisfies this.

The script first iterates over any flange features that already exist in the design and reads the settings from each definition, so the reading portion reports nothing if the design has no flanges yet. It then finds the first linear edge on the first body in the root component and uses it to create a new edge flange feature. Reading the edges back from the created feature requires rolling the timeline marker to immediately before the feature, which the script does using TimelineObject.rollTo.
