yellow sketchCurve objects

[Anonymous]

Scenario: UI (user) generated model shows warnings.

When I select the yellow geometry (via script/API) the SketchCurve properties return these states:

->isReference()    returns true (why? reference ist lost, see screenshot)

->isValid()            returns true (why?)

1) is this behavior "as designed"?

2) how can I detect (through API) whether a specific sketch-curve is yellow (reference is lost) or not?

Hi Manfred.Steinbach.

It seems that you can judge by Sketch.healthState Property.

Thank you for your feedback.

I´m looking for a way to examine the SketchCurve-objects in an unhealthy Sketch (that I already identified with ->healthState() property). Some SketchCurve-objects might be ok, others are not ok and lost their reference - but which ones?

There is another method on SketchEntity to get the referencedEntity if isReferenced is returning True. This method is successful only if referencedEntity is present otherwise it throws exception which is not elegant in my opinion. May be you can write a method and catch the exception thrown and return True/False based on whether exception is thrown or not.

Yep, I already tried that - and as a result ran into this:

Nevertheless thank you very much for your feedback - because now I definitely know that I did not miss any other possibility to solve my problem. I´m looking forward to the december update with a fix for the current referencedEntity() limitation.

The referencedEntity() bug is fixed with Fusion 360 release 2.0.5044 - so I also have a solution for the problem posted in this thread ->
