documentation bug: Document and Assembly Structure

[Anonymous]

The first python example on this page does not work (any more?):

app = adsk.core.Application.get()
ui = app.userInterface

design = adsk.fusion.Design(app.activeProduct) ### <<--- no constructor defined
if not design:
    ui.messageBox('No active Fusion 360 design', 'No Design')
    return

The line in the middle should probably be

design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(app.activeProduct)

It's a mistake in the documentation. I'm fairly certain that I wrote that block of code in a text editor, along with the rest of that article, and not in an IDE. So it's my mistake and it should be using the cast property as you guessed.

Could you then please update the documentation here https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-88A4DB43-CFDD-4CFF-B124-7EE67915A07A Thanks
