[API BUG] Cannot access entity of "Move" feature

thomasa88 — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 15:16:30 GMT

When accessing the timeline (design.timeline) it is not possible to get the entity for "Move".

Create a Move feature in the GUI and then check the timeline using Python:

timeline[-1].name 'Move1' timeline[-1].entity RuntimeError: 2 : InternalValidationError : res

The same is true for Align.

There are several things that you can check, the isValid and isSuppressed. Also is capture position pending?

I also found this same issue the other day. I believe this is related to some internal changes that were made to the Move feature and the API has not been updated to handle this change. The problem is that the updated Move feature is seen as new type of feature that the API doesn't support. Because of that when you try to get the feature from the timeline entity it can't return anything because the API doesn't know what it is. There is not workaround for you. It's something Autodesk needs to address.
