DistanceValueCommandInput

Anonymous — Tue, 12 May 2020 01:47:37 GMT

Hello, I'm very new to coding and the API. I've started making a script and have everything working except for one thing. I want to box to open that the user enters a value(number) that is saved as a variable for use later in the script.

I believe that I can do this with a DistanceValueCommandInput. I've tried to follow the object model to create the code, but I am missing something (or perhaps a lot). So far I have:

#input offset

cmdInput = adsk.core.CommandInput.classType()

offValue = cmdInput.addDistanceValueCommandInput('outer profile', 'roughing cutter', 0.635)

When I run the script the error code I receive is:

offValue = cmdInput.addDistanceValueCommandInput('outer profile', 'roughing cutter', 0.635)

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute

'addDistanceValueCommandInput'

Can someone please help steer me in the right direction to solve this bit of code?

Thank you.

You've put a string into cmdInput when you needed an object.

It is worth spending 10 mins on this to help get set up for API programming, so,... DistanceValueCommandInput is one of the controls demonstrated in this excellent example:-

https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-e5c4dbe8-ee48-11e4-9823-f8b156d7cd97

Visit that, and make sure you follow the instructions about extracting the resource folder.

There was a bug in their script - if it doesn't work, use my fixed version below.

Now - the best way to find and fix these things yourself, is to set breakpoints in your debugger. Use the Debug option to open your code:

Then click this:

Then the green :

Then put red dots next to where you want to pause

Then run it (blue triangle)

It will stop when it gets to where you want:

And now you can interactively look at all the variables:

and expand and explore the internal Fusion360 objects etc.

And best of all - you can run commands right there and test if they work OK.

I've found that to be a *Very* fast way of working out the path I need for most UI things.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your help. I had looked at the code before, but I'm new to coding, so this had so much going on that I couldn't follow it. I ended up using to bold sample program and am now very close to what I need. Some things are starting to make sence.
