Close Fusion 360 through API/text command?

Hi all,

Regarding the topic, is it possible to close Fusion 360 application through API/text command?

I could not find anything related to this in the documentation.

@j.han97 If you're on Windows, "Fn+Alt+F4" closes Fusion 360.

Hi @j.han97 .

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to exit, but I think it's done.

# Fusion360API Python script import traceback import adsk.fusion import adsk.core def run(context): ui: adsk.core.UserInterface = None try: app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface exitApplication() except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc())) def exitApplication(): app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get() # close all doc docs = [doc for doc in app.documents] [doc.close(False) for doc in docs[::-1]] # close asset app.executeTextCommand(u'NuCommands.CloseAssetCmd') # Exit Application app.executeTextCommand(u'NuCommands.ExitApplicationCmd')

Thanks @kandennti ,

I have tried your code and despite several error messages, the application quitted as expected. Thank you!

@j.han97 .

After searching for details, I found a CommandDefinition to exit.

I think this is safer.

def exitApplication(): app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get() # close all doc docs = [doc for doc in app.documents] [doc.close(False) for doc in docs[::-1]] # Exit Application CommandDefinition ui: adsk.core.UserInterface = app.userInterface cmdDef: adsk.core.CommandDefinition = ui.commandDefinitions.itemById( 'ExitApplicationCommand') # Execute if cmdDef: cmdDef.execute()

Thank you @kandennti, I believe this is safer than using text command too.
