ThreadDataQuery Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Features/ThreadDataQuery.h>

Description

This object provides methods to query the thread data contained in the XML files in ThreadData folder within the Fusion install folder. You can use the queried values to create a ThreadInfo object that is then used to create a thread feature.

Methods

Name	Description
allClasses	Returns and array/list of all the available classes for a thread type of a given thread designation.
allDesignations	returns an array/list of all the available thread designations for a thread type of a given size. Valid thread types and sizes and be obtained by using the allThreadTypes and allSizes functions.
allSizes	Returns an array/list of all the available thread sizes for a given thread type. You can use the allThreadTypes property to get the available thread types.
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().
recommendThreadData	Method that gets the recommended thread data for a given model diameter.
threadTypeCustomName	Method that returns the custom name for a given thread type. The custom name is the localized name of the thread type using the current language specified for Fusion.
threadTypeUnit	Method that returns the unit for a given thread type.

Properties

Name	Description
allThreadTypes	This method returns an array of all the available thread types (families). The type names are always English. This English name should be used in the other methods that take the type as an input argument. If you need to display the type name to the user, you can use the threadTypeCustomName method To get the localized name.
defaultInchThreadType	Gets the default thread type for inch threads.
defaultMetricThreadType	Gets the default thread type for metric threads.
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():
