How to tell if a component is a parametric design, or not?

[Dave.SendItCNC]

The following python code works great to dump component names and values, until its used on a design which includes non-parametric components. In that case, fusion.py correctly reports 'RuntimeError: 3: this is not a parametric design" from _fusion.Component__get_modelParameters.

So, does anybody know  how to tell if a component is not a parametric design, so as to avoid referencing the modelParameters property?

...

for comp in design.allComponents:

    if comp.modelParameters:

        for param in comp.modelParameters:

            logger.print('Component: {} param: {} = {}'.format(comp.name,param.name,param.value))

You can determine this but it's not a property of a component but is a setting of the Design.  The entire design is either parametric or not.  You use the designType property of the Design object.  It can be one of two values: adsk.fusion.DesignTypes.DirectDesignType or adsk.fusion.DesignTypes.ParametricDesignType.

Brian, thanks! Works great now.

...

for comp in design.allComponents:

    if comp.parentDesign.designType == adsk.fusion.DesignTypes.ParametricDesignType:

        for param in comp.modelParameters:

        logger.print('Component: {} param: {} = {}'.format(comp.name,param.name,param.value))

    else:

        logger.print('Component: {} is not a parametric design'.format(comp.name,param.name,param.value))
