CAMTemplateOperationInput Object Preview

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/CAMTemplate/CAMTemplateOperationInput.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

A CAMTemplateOperationInput provides access to Operation Template parameters for editing, in much the same way as OperationInput provides access to Operation parameters for editing. Operation Template parameters are slightly different from Operation parameters, for instance in terms of how tools and geometry selections can be specified, so an OperationInput for a given strategy type has a slightly different set of parameters from a CAMTemplateOperationInput for that same strategy type.

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().
isGeometryIndexEnabled Get whether a geometry index is selected.
setGeometryIndexEnabled Set whether a geometry index is selected.

Properties

Name Description
displayName Optionally specify the display name that appears in the browser-tree to override the default.
geometryIndexCount Get the number of geometry indices that can be selected.
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():
parameters Get all parameters for the current strategy. Parameters are initialized by user defaults. Configure operation parameters before creation for a better performance.
strategy Get the current strategy
tool Optionally specify the tool used by the operation. The ToolLibraries allows the access to Local and Fusion tools.
toolPreset Optionally specify the preset of the tool. If no preset is specified, the operation gets its default feed and speed. The Tool provides access to available presets. Use one of those presets to override the default. An invalid preset will cause a failure during the creation of the operation.
