Fusion 360 API stand alone applications

Anonymous — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 09:01:21 GMT

Hi,

Is there any way to use Fusion360 API in standalone projects like NXOpen.
One can create, modify, inspect and save the file or export it as a STEP file or import it.

So, can Fusion360 API be used in this way?
If so, would you please guide a little bit.

Regards,

Tahir

No, that's not possible. The API is only accessible from a script or add-in running inside of Fusion 360.

Thank you for your reply.

I want to know is there a way to access the information related to a CAD file. API deals with creation not with accessing the information of already designed models.

There is a significant amount of API to access existing information in a Fusion 360 file. For example, I can query a sketch to determine the geometry and constraints it contains. I can also query a model to know what features were used to construct it and the inputs used for the features. One of the most important areas are all of the B-Rep related objects and the geometry objects that let you examine the shape of an existing solid or surface model.
