Run Fusion 360 API "Python" Script When Opening An Existing Document (Assembly, Part or Drawing)

Can anybody help?

Is it possible to run a Fusion 360 API "Python" script when opening an existing document (Assembly, Part or Drawing)?

For example,

Whenever I open an existing Assembly, Part or Drawing (For testing purposes only) show a messagebox saying "Hello World"

Many thanks in advance!

Darren

I think your task is do-able. You might want to take a look at Application.documentOpened command here: Fusion 360 Help | Application.documentOpened Event | Autodesk. This event is triggered at the end of opening a document.

You need to develop an add-in, not a script.
