pytha.is_part_cam_machining

Checks whether a part is a CAM machining.

Returns whether the given part is a CAM machining object, i.e. a part that carries CAM machining information (such as a drilling or groove) and is applied to other parts by the CAM postprocessor, rather than being regular CAD geometry.

Note: This function requires the Workshop license. Without it, the call raises an error. Use check_license_workshop to test for availability beforehand.
