[Karol Dembiński]

Hi, I am trying to check if selected thing is a line.

>>> k.TypeId
'Part::Part2DObjectPython'

no Type method.

You need some deeper understanding of the freecad datastructures used. I recommend Part_Module Part_scripting and Topological_data_scripting

Also use getSelectionEx() function and test SubObjects.

Hi, I am trying to check if selected thing is a line.

What line? A Draft Line? A Draft Line is a Python object (scripted objects) that sits on top of a base C++ object, in this case, Part_Part2DObject. Therefore, its TypeId will be this C++ object.

The type of a Draft object is specified in the Type attribute of its Proxy.

Code: Select all

print(obj.Proxy.Type)

For convenience, Draft provides a function to get this quickly.

Code: Select all

Draft.getType(obj)

Well, yes, I mean Draft object named 'line' and I'm using it's start and end, so I wanted to mak sure it not only has start and and, but also make sure that, what is named "start' and 'end' are indeed what I mean.
