Export SketchPoint Coordinates in csv file

_fabschke_ — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 09:11:05 GMT

Hi,

I want to export coordinates of a point (more points in the future) to a csv-file.

I am not an experienced coder, but even with help of google and some friends I couldn't figure it out.

I tried the in python included csv module, csv.DictWriter etc. but i always get the same error.

OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: 'coordinates.csv'

I tried moving the directory of the .py file to different paths, where I know i have write rights but still the error persists.

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback, csv 
app = adsk.core.Application.get() 
ui = app.userInterface 
pntEntity = ui.selectEntity('Select a sketch point', 'SketchPoints') 

pnt = adsk.fusion.SketchPoint.cast(pntEntity.entity) 
fields=['X-Coord','Y-Coord','Z-Coord'] 
with open(r'coordinates.csv', 'a') as coord_csv: 
writer = csv.writer(coord_csv) 
writer.writerow(fields)
writer.writerow('{0}'.format(pnt.geometry.x))

Hello,

pass the full path of the CSV file to the open function.

The execution path is not the same as the one where your py file is stored.

Try this small example:

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

import os

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        ui.messageBox('{}\n{}'.format(os.getcwd(), os.path.dirname(__file__)))

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

I just checked the code you uploaded and it is not correct. Somehow I don't get the coordinates of the construction points.
