Output Specific File, as STP, to "C:\Windows\Temp\"

Can anybody help?

I have the following Fusion 360 script:

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback
import os.path, sys

def run(context):
ui = None
try:
app = adsk.core.Application.get()

ui = app.userInterface

product = app.activeProduct

design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product)

allComps = design.allComponents

scriptDir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

exportMgr = design.exportManager

for comp in allComps:
compName = comp.name

fileName = scriptDir + "/" + compName

stpOptions = exportMgr.createSTEPExportOptions(fileName, comp)

exportMgr.execute(stpOptions)

except:
if ui:
ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Can anybody update the above script so that it only exports a file called "Sprocket" to "C:\Windows\Temp\"?

Many thanks in advance!

Darren

Hi,

Well done, you're super close! I've made some small modification:

We'll need to be looking for the correct component so I've added an if() statement. It checks if the name is in a list of names that should be exported. (The list contains variations of the name 'Sprocket' but could contain any name.)

I also took the liberty of adding a unique identifier to the name in case there are more components named sprocket. (Just remove the + "_" + comp.id if you don't like that.)

I've removed the scriptdirectory parameter; it was looking for the directory of the script as the export destination. Since you were looking for a fixed location I've replaced it with the folder parameter. Note that the notation uses forward slashes instead of backward slashes like Windows does!

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback def run(context): ui = None try: app = adsk.core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface product = app.activeProduct design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product) allComps = design.allComponents exportMgr = design.exportManager for comp in allComps: acceptedNames = ["Sprockets", "sprockets", "Sprocket", "sprocket"] if comp.name in acceptedNames : folder = "C:/Windows/Temp/" fileName = folder + comp.name + "_" + comp.id stpOptions = exportMgr.createSTEPExportOptions(fileName, comp) exportMgr.execute(stpOptions) except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

You should be able to run the above code as a script!
