creating a custom configuration table?

Hello all,

I have been playing around with the configuration table recently. It is defiantly a great thing! But for my project it is not the most user friendly. I have been trying to watch and read as much as possible on using the API and create a custom Configure table better suited to my needs. But I have no idea what i am doing and am finding my way through as usual.

How do you create a text box that can operate your user Parameters? I would also like to know how you can add your components/extrude functions to a check box? Is there any way to add a text box next to the check box to determine the parameters I have set for the pull handle lengths?

Below is what I have so far on the code that gets my basic layout and the start of all my hardware lists.

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion

import os

from ...lib import fusion360utils as futil

from ... import config

app = adsk.core.Application.get()

ui = app.userInterface

#Need to bring in the design and user parameters

design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(app.activeProduct)

userParam = design.userParameters

# TODO *** Specify the command identity information. ***

CMD_ID = f'{config.COMPANY_NAME}_{config.ADDIN_NAME}_cmdDialog'

CMD_NAME = 'Hradware Selection'

CMD_Description = 'A Fusion 360 Add-in Command with a dialog'

# Specify that the command will be promoted to the panel.

IS_PROMOTED = True

# TODO *** Define the location where the command button will be created. ***

# This is done by specifying the workspace, the tab, and the panel, and the

# command it will be inserted beside. Not providing the command to position it

# will insert it at the end.

WORKSPACE_ID = 'FusionSolidEnvironment'

PANEL_ID = 'ConfigurePanel'

COMMAND_BESIDE_ID = 'Displayconfigurationpanel'

# Resource location for command icons, here we assume a sub folder in this directory named "resources".

ICON_FOLDER = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), 'resources', '')

# Local list of event handlers used to maintain a reference so

# they are not released and garbage collected.

local_handlers = []

#get the user parameters

door_opening_width = design.userParameters.itemByName('door_opening_width')

door_opening_height = design.userParameters.itemByName('door_opening_height')

# Executed when add-in is run.

def start():

# Create a command Definition.

cmd_def = ui.commandDefinitions.addButtonDefinition(CMD_ID, CMD_NAME, CMD_Description, ICON_FOLDER)

# Define an event handler for the command created event. It will be called when the button is clicked.

futil.add_handler(cmd_def.commandCreated, command_created)

# ******** Add a button into the UI so the user can run the command. ********

# Get the target workspace the button will be created in.

workspace = ui.workspaces.itemById(WORKSPACE_ID)

# Get the panel the button will be created in.

panel = workspace.toolbarPanels.itemById(PANEL_ID)

# Create the button command control in the UI after the specified existing command.

control = panel.controls.addCommand(cmd_def, COMMAND_BESIDE_ID, False)

# Specify if the command is promoted to the main toolbar.

control.isPromoted = IS_PROMOTED

# Executed when add-in is stopped.

def stop():

# Get the various UI elements for this command

workspace = ui.workspaces.itemById(WORKSPACE_ID)

panel = workspace.toolbarPanels.itemById(PANEL_ID)

command_control = panel.controls.itemById(CMD_ID)

command_definition = ui.commandDefinitions.itemById(CMD_ID)

# Delete the button command control

if command_control:

command_control.deleteMe()

# Delete the command definition

if command_definition:

command_definition.deleteMe()

# Function that is called when a user clicks the corresponding button in the UI.

# This defines the contents of the command dialog and connects to the command related events.

def command_created(args: adsk.core.CommandCreatedEventArgs):

# General logging for debug.

futil.log(f'{CMD_NAME} Command Created Event')

# https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?contextId=CommandInputs

inputs = args.command.commandInputs

# TODO Define the dialog for your command by adding different inputs to the command.

#create input for door size

#inputs.addTextBoxCommandInput('text_box', 'Some Text', 'Enter Some Text', 1, False)

# Create a value input field and set the default using 1 unit of the default length unit.

defaultLengthUnits = app.activeProduct.unitsManager.defaultLengthUnits

default_value = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByString('1')

#inputs.addValueInput('value_input', 'Some Value', defaultLengthUnits, default_value)

# create input for door size

# list of exit devices to choose from

group_input = inputs.addGroupCommandInput('group_input', 'Exit Device')

group_input.isExpanded = False

children = group_input.children

bool_value_input = children.addBoolValueInput('bool_value_input', 'Von Duprin 98/99 CVR', True, '', False)
