API Extrude all Profiles in a sketch layer help

Anonymous — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 13:44:08 GMT

Hi there

A quick bit if background, I'm not a coder, I've never done any sort of coding untill 12 weeks ago when I got furloughed. I'm now trying to learn a bit more about it, as it can be very time effecient by automating my usual every day tasks.

What I want my code to do is:

1 - Import in a dxf, using a dialog box

2 - Extrude every single profile in a sketch layer and extrude it to a height

This is where I'm struggling

3 - Lastly, I want to save the fusion file as the name of the imported dxf

For Step 1:

Importing the dxf works fine, and so does the dialog box, it's only when I don't select anything from the dialog box my code dosen't work.

Also the dxf that I will be importing will have multiple sketch layers, and multiple profiles in each sketch. I will link the dxf that I have been using, it's very basic with as it's just a square with three circles, and four rectangles inside it. I want to get this basic one to work first before I attempt anything more complex, like what I would normally be dealing with.

For Step 2:

This is where my issues have been occuring, and I'm looking for some help, as I can extrude a single profile from each sketch layer fine, but it's when I attempt to group all the profiles together and extrude all of them at once, I start to have issues.

For Step 3:

I haven't attempted this part yet as I haven't finished step 2

Re: API Extrude all Profiles in a sketch layer help

Hi there

Quick update on my code

I pretty much finished what I set out to do

The only part that I'm still working my way through is the saving of the fusion file as the name of the imported dxf, but if I can't get it, it's not the end of the world

I'm wondering if there is anyone out there how could give a suggestion as to how I could tidy up my code and full prof it a little more. As for example, if I import a dxf that doesn't have exact 1 square, 3 circles and 4 rectnagles then my code fails. Is there a way that I can loop through all the profiles on each sketch layer instead of indiviually going through them? Any thoughts would be helpful
