Reorder operations in setup

echatzief — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 13:54:40 GMT

Hi, hope you're doing great!

I am creating a setup via the api, which contains multiple (x) operations.

I am aware of the fact that I can assign operations to my setup in a different way, thus changing the order of the final operations to the setup, but apparently that is not the desired way to achieve my goal.

I'd appreciate if anyone can inform me about the possibility of changing the order of the operations to my setup after them being assigned to it.

Thank you in advance!

Is there a chance it may not be possible?

Thank you!

It's not currently possible, but with all of the work that's been going on with the CAM API, I hope it's coming soon.

Hi @echatzief -San.

I don't know if this is very limited and useful due to lack of functionality, but I have created a sample using a template.

In the attached f3d file, the operations are created in the order of the red marks with the largest tool diameter, but when the script is executed, the order is changed to the green ones.

# Fusion360API Python script import traceback import adsk.core as core import adsk.cam as cam import pathlib THIS_DIR = pathlib.Path(__file__).resolve().parent def run(context): ui: core.UserInterface = None try: app: core.Application = core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface camObj: cam.CAM = get_cam_product() sorted_by_diameter(camObj.setups[0]) camObj.generateAllToolpaths(True) except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc())) def sorted_by_diameter(setup: cam.Setup) -> None: if setup.operations.count < 2: return # create dict opeLst = [] ope: cam.Operation = None for ope in setup.operations: tool: cam.Tool = ope.tool dia = tool.parameters.itemByName( "tool_diameter" ).value.value opeLst.append( { "dia": dia, "ope": ope } ) # sort sortedOpeLst = sorted(opeLst, key = lambda x:x["dia"]) # export template template = cam.CAMTemplate.createFromOperations( [d["ope"] for d in sortedOpeLst] ) # import template cloneOpes = setup.createFromCAMTemplate(template) # set parameter clone: cam.Operation for clone, sortedDict in zip(cloneOpes, sortedOpeLst): originalOpe: cam.Operation = sortedDict["ope"] originalPrm: cam.CAMParameter = originalOpe.parameters.itemByName('holeFaces') clonePrm: cam.CAMParameter = clone.parameters.itemByName('holeFaces') clonePrm.value.value = originalPrm.value.value # remove original operation originalOpe.deleteMe() def get_cam_product() -> cam.CAM: app: core.Application = core.Application.get() activete_cam_env() return app.activeProduct def activete_cam_env() -> None: app: core.Application = core.Application.get() ui: core.UserInterface = app.userInterface camWS: core.Workspace = ui.workspaces.itemById('CAMEnvironment') camWS.activate()

In fact, the operations are created in the template and the original ones are deleted, not reordered.

I haven't checked exactly, but there are some things that are not recorded when the template is created.
In the attached file, I have set HoleFaces in the geomatry tab for Drill only.

The parameters are different for each type of operation, so you may need to change the process for each type.
Also, if you are using CAD elements in the Heights tab, you may need to set them.

Currently it is not possible to change the Order of operations after it has been created. But which is something the team is aware of and working on it.
