Actually, it is possible to show a message like the second example. You do this by setting the executeFailed property of the CommandEventArgs object that passed into the command execute event to True. And setting the executeFailedMessage property to whatever message you want to show up in the error dialog.

Better late than never, this will show information to the user as a graphics text that is always facing the view and in a fixed location on the viewport.

#Author-RM #Description- import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback def run(context): ui = None try: app = adsk.core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface doc = app.activeDocument products = doc.products product = products.itemByProductType('CAMProductType') cam_var = adsk.cam.CAM.cast(product) desproduct = products.itemByProductType('DesignProductType') des = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(desproduct) root = des.rootComponent if not cam_var: ui.messageBox('No CAM data exists in the active document.') return #Checks the number of toolpaths and if they are generated toolpathcount = cam_var.allOperations.count toolpathcheck = cam_var.checkToolpath(cam_var.allOperations) text = 'ToolpathNo = ' + str(toolpathcount) + "\nToolpathcheck Valid:" + str(toolpathcheck) #Displays as standard message box display = ui.messageBox(text) #Displays as graphics on screen: # Check to see if a custom graphics groups already exists and delete it. if root.customGraphicsGroups.count > 0: root.customGraphicsGroups.item(0).deleteMe() app.activeViewport.refresh() graphics = root.customGraphicsGroups.add() matrix = adsk.core.Matrix3D.create() graphicsText = graphics.addText(text, 'Arial', 3, matrix) # Set the text to be front facing and anchored at (0,0,0). billBoard = adsk.fusion.CustomGraphicsBillBoard.create(adsk.core.Point3D.create(0,0,0)) billBoard.billBoardStyle = adsk.fusion.CustomGraphicsBillBoardStyles.ScreenBillBoardStyle graphicsText.billBoarding = billBoard # Set the text to use view scaling. viewScale = adsk.fusion.CustomGraphicsViewScale.create(4, adsk.core.Point3D.create(0,0,0)) graphicsText.viewScale = viewScale viewPlace = adsk.fusion.CustomGraphicsViewPlacement.create(adsk.core.Point3D.create(0,0,0), adsk.fusion.ViewCorners.lowerLeftViewCorner, adsk.core.Point2D.create(10, 120)) graphicsText.viewPlacement = viewPlace except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc())) def stop(context): ui = None try: app = adsk.core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface #ui.messageBox('Stop addin') except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Could you give an example on how that would look like? 🙂
