Unable to Run ANY Scripts in Fusion 360 - "SCRIPT ERROR"

sammmm_tan — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 06:00:38 GMT

I'm trying to run Python scripts in Fusion 360 to create a propeller design, but every script I try to execute returns only "SCRIPT ERROR" in the text console. This happens with all scripts, including very simple examples, suggesting a fundamental issue with the scripting environment rather than problems with any specific code.

System Information:

Fusion 360 Version: 2601.0.90 x86_64
Operating System: Windows 10 22H2 (19045.5608)
Python experience: Some familiarity with programming concepts, basic debugging

What I've Tried:

Verified that the file paths in my scripts are correct
Tried running Sample Scripts
Restarted Fusion 360 and my computer
Tried running my script from Python outside Fusion 360
Tried running some very simple scripts

Error Details:

When running any script through the Scripts and Add-Ins manager, I only see "SCRIPT ERROR" in the text console without any additional error messages or stack traces that could help diagnose the problem.

Should I put my script here too, to see what's wrong with it? From the Fusion Community Discord server, I see someone experienced the same thing before.

Questions:

How do I fix this?
What common issues can prevent ALL scripts from running?
How can I access more detailed error messages beyond just "SCRIPT ERROR"?
Are there specific configuration settings I should check?
Could this be related to Python version compatibility or API issues?
Are there any known conflicts with other add-ins that might cause this

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to create a parametric propeller design and scripting would be the most efficient approach.

Hi @sammmm_tan -San.

Fusion360 cannot be run by external scripts.

Have you read this?
If you are getting an error including the sample scripts, then I think you are running it the wrong way.
