PMISettings Object Preview

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/PMI/PMISettings.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

Provides access to the PMISettings of a document.

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().

saveAsUserDefault

Saves the current PMI settings as the user default that new documents will be created with.

Properties

Name Description
annotationSize Gets and sets the size of PMI graphics in the document in cm.
defaultPrecision Gets and sets the default number of decimal places of precision used for PMI creation. Valid values are 0 to 9.
defaultTolerance Gets and sets the default tolerance value used for PMI creation in cm.
isLeadingZeroShown Gets and sets whether a leading zero is displayed for decimal values less than 1 used for PMI creation.
isTrailingZeroShown Gets and sets whether trailing zeros are displayed for decimal values used for PMI creation.
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():
parentDesign Gets the parent design.
pmiStandardType Gets and sets the PMI standard type used by the document.
