How add a button in the Fusion 360 "navigation toolbar"

jean-jacques_juille — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 20:58:03 GMT

Hi,
I want to add a button in the Fusion 360 "navigation toolbar" that could simulate pressing the "Escape" key.
I thank you in advance.

Hello,

you can add a button to the NavBar like so:

//declare constants std::string NavBarBtnID = "NavBarBtn"; std::string NavBarBtnName = "NavBarBtn"; //add commmand def Ptr<CommandDefinition> NavBarBtnCmdDef; NavBarBtnCmdDef = ui->commandDefinitions()->itemById(NavBarBtnID); if (!NavBarBtnCmdDef) NavBarBtnCmdDef = ui->commandDefinitions()->addButtonDefinition(NavBarBtnID, NavBarBtnName, "Sample btn", ""); // add btn to the toolbar Ptr<Toolbar> navToolbar = ui->toolbars()->itemById("NavToolBar"); Ptr<ToolbarControls> navToolbarControls = navToolbar->controls(); bool wasAdded = navToolbarControls->addCommand(NavBarBtnCmdDef, "", false);

Hi,
I'm really sorry but I forgot to specify that I want this add-in in Python

For the most part (there are some language specific differences), it's just about transcribing the syntax since you still work with the same API. For that you can use AI if you are lazy like me, but here you go:

# Declare constants navBarBtnID = "NavBarBtn" navBarBtnName = "NavBarBtn" # Add command definition navBarBtnCmdDef = ui.commandDefinitions.itemById(navBarBtnID) if not navBarBtnCmdDef: navBarBtnCmdDef = ui.commandDefinitions.addButtonDefinition(navBarBtnID, navBarBtnName, "Sample btn", "") # Add button to the toolbar navToolbar = ui.toolbars.itemById("navToolBar") navToolbarControls = navToolbar.controls wasAdded = navToolbarControls.addCommand(navBarBtnCmdDef, "", False)

Hi,
I created a new add-in in Python that I named "EscapeBtn", I edited the "EscapeBtn.py" file, I pasted your Python code just below the try def run(context) but apparently nothing is happening, I don't see a button added to my navigation toolbar (bottom). Forgive me but I'm a beginner and wonder if I pasted the code in the right place. Can you continue to help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

paste in the code please so I can check it.

Below is the code for my Escapebtn.py file, Thank you for your patient :

# Assuming you have not changed the general structure of the template no modification is needed in this file.

from . import commands

from .lib import fusion360utils as futil

def run(context😞

try:

# Declare constants

navBarBtnID = "NavBarBtn"

navBarBtnName = "NavBarBtn"

# Add command definition

navBarBtnCmdDef = ui.commandDefinitions.itemById(navBarBtnID)

if not navBarBtnCmdDef:

navBarBtnCmdDef = ui.commandDefinitions.addButtonDefinition(navBarBtnID, navBarBtnName, "Sample btn", "")

# Add button to the toolbar

navToolbar = ui.toolbars.itemById("navToolBar")

navToolbarControls = navToolbar.controls

wasAdded = navToolbarControls.addCommand(navBarBtnCmdDef, "", False)

# This will run the start function in each of your commands as defined in commands/__init__.py

commands.start()

except:

futil.handle_error('run')

def stop(context😞

try:

# Remove all of the event handlers your app has created

futil.clear_handlers()

I have written the whole add-in from start, here's the code:

Don't forget to adjust the path to icon to your own on line 22.

Hi
I just tried your code and it works great. I just had a problem with the icon path. I had to replace the relative path of the icons with the absolute path. I am really pleased with your help and thank you very much.

Re: How add a button in the Fusion 360 "navigation toolbar"

juha2008 — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 19:27:25 GMT

I spent quite a lot of time trying to get buttons and icons working—probably several hours in total.

I wanted to promote a custom button to the toolbar from my Add-In, but it wouldn't work without an icon. Finding the correct paths to the icon felt like higher science!

Here's the code that finally worked for me:

cmd_definitions = ui.commandDefinitions button = cmd_definitions.itemById('updateTextCommand') if not button: button = cmd_definitions.addButtonDefinition('updateTextCommand', 'ButtonText', 'ButtonDescription', './Resources/Command')

Initially, I tried putting the images in the same folder as my Python code within the Add-In folder, but that didn't work. Eventually, I created a subfolder called Resources and another subfolder inside that named Command. I placed the images there for testing, and the file names that worked were: 32x32-normal.svg or 32x32-normal.png.

Important note: Fusion 360 seems to load all resources when it starts up. I wasted a lot of time before realizing that I needed to restart Fusion for the changes to take effect. Once I did that, everything worked fine. I tried so many different things that it's possible other setups would have worked after a restart—but I don't have the energy to test them all again!

I'm still unsure if the file naming is exactly right, but it seems to work. If you're looking for more info, you might want to check this reference: Fusion 360 Icon Reference.

Just wanted to share my experience for anyone else struggling with the same issue. Hope this helps!

i just created a button, but now how can i add a script to run when pushing the new botton?

Here is my full Add-In code for reference. Please note to create Add-In instead of Script.

I have a model with user parameter which I could increase and decrease by 5 mm. Then if I change HeightQ paramter manually, then I have button to refresh certain sketch with text to have the dimension in it. For example parameter value is 15 mm, then sketch will have text in it "15 mm".

Screenshot what kind of parameter model I have to update height and text on top surface of it.

Buttons on the Toolbar:

Resources folder structure and files (Command folder were just testing):

Also 16x16-normal.png files is also extra and they are not... Well.. After quick double check. They are used in dropdown toolbar apparently. So those I need to update for better look:

but everytime i try to add the script, dont work, how can i add a script inside the button?
