The biggest problem I have encountered is that everything is synchronous and single threaded. Depending on the system, network, and cloud performance this produces results from acceptable to angry-uninstall. I did try using setTimeout but I cannot affect UI elements from those functions without locking up the whole UI. There are a number of small changes that would allow greater user interaction while doing compute bound or IO bound operations. I would be happy to discuss all of those if there is interest.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you,</P><P>Aron</P> Sat, 06 Aug 2016 16:02:49 GMT aronrubin 2016-08-06T16:02:49Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-api-and-scripts-forum/asynchronous-and-background-execution-in-js/m-p/6482043#M19477 <P>I am completing the first revision of a Add-In that I have been developing for a few months.
