Sketches Object
Derived from: Base ObjectDefined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Sketch/Sketches.h>
Description
Provides access to the sketches within a design and provides methods to create new sketches.Methods
| Name | Description |
| add | Creates a new sketch on the specified planar entity. |
| addToBaseOrFormFeature | Creates a parametric sketch that is associated with a base feature. Because of a current limitation, if you want to create a sketch associated with a base feature, you must first call the edit method of the base feature, use this method to create the sketch, and then call the finishEdit method of the base feature. The base feature must be in an "edit" state to be able to add any additional items to it. |
| addWithoutEdges | Creates a new sketch on the specified planar entity. If a BRepFace is provided, the edges of the face are not projected into the sketch so the result of creating a new sketch with this method will always be a new empty sketch. |
| 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(). |
| item | Function that returns the specified sketch using an index into the collection. |
| itemByName | Returns the sketch with the specified name. |
Properties
| Name | Description |
| count | Returns the number of sketches in a component |
| 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(): |
