doc |
The document containing the selected object |
obj |
The selected object unless it is a Link, in which case it references the Linked object |
lnk |
The Link object (only created if the selected object is a Link) |
shp |
Depending on the type of the selected object: The Shape property of the object (for objects derived from the Part::Feature class) |
sub |
The first selected subshape of the object (only created if at least one subshape has been select) |
subs |
A list containing all subshapes (only created if two or more subshapes have been select) |
>>> ### Begin command Std_SendToPythonConsole >>> try: >>> del(doc,lnk,obj,shp,sub,subs) >>> except Exception: >>> pass >>> >>> doc = App.getDocument("Unnamed") >>> lnk = doc.getObject("Link") >>> obj = lnk.getLinkedObject() #in this case a Cube >>> shp = obj.Shape >>> sub = obj.getSubObject("Edge10") >>> subs = [obj.getSubObject("Edge10"),obj.getSubObject("Face3"),obj.getSubObject("Vertex5"),] >>> ### End command Std_SendToPythonConsole
Example output: an edge, a face, and a vertex of a Link to a Part Box was selected
