Hi, i use most Fusion has CAD for helping on powermill, usually i creat surfaces and export them in step files and the import in powermill.

The problem is to booring to search all the time the folder and white the bane.

I was wondering if on fusion a script when Run, could export selected (or choose) for a specific folder (c:\CADFiles) and Open a box to choose a name file and export to .step file.

In powermill i have set a macro to import files from specific folder.

That's certainly possible. Here are a couple of samples to help get you started.

This sample demonstrates using the API to export a STEP file.

This sample demonstrates displaying a dialog to have the user select a file. There isn't a sample, but a similar API exists for selecting a folder.
