How to create one NC with the same name

nubrandao — Sat, 31 Aug 2024 12:53:14 GMT

Hi, for example, in the company my collegs use a lot probing, mostly fusion for probing,

they create one toolpath (probing), rename

the create one NC program, inside input toolpath manually

then post, and rename the NC again , so, they are renaming a lot of times.

is possible to select one toolpath and create one NC and rename automaticly?

i will create a video of what i want.

(view in My Videos)

to me i have to be honest , is not very important because i dont probe a lot.

basically they want rename once (toolpath) then with shift+s run script to the selected toolpath, create a nc program with same name on title and inside

Hi,

In this topic:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-api-and-scripts/compare-and-edit-after-running-script/td-p/12970845

you can an example of how to generate NC program por setup, assign it a name, and even assign a specific post-processor.

I hope it can help you.

Hi @nubrandao -San.

I made a sample.

# Fusion360API Python script import traceback import adsk.core as core import adsk.fusion as fusion import adsk.cam as cam def run(context): ui: core.UserInterface = None try: app: core.Application = core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface # Select Count check sels: core.Selections = ui.activeSelections if not sels.count == 1: return # Select Operation ope: cam.Operation = sels.item(0).entity # Create NcProgram Input camObj: cam.CAM = app.activeProduct ncProgs: cam.NCPrograms = camObj.ncPrograms ncInput: cam.NCProgramInput = ncProgs.createInput() # Set Name ncInput.displayName = ope.name # Set Nc Program Name ncInput.parameters.itemByName("nc_program_name").value.value = ope.name # Set Operation ncInput.operations = [ope] # Create NcProgram ncProgs.add(ncInput) except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

hi, that is perfect, could be possible to do the same thing but with multiple selections?

@nubrandao -San.

What you are doing here on this topic is what you hope to do.

Slight modification.

# Fusion360API Python script import traceback import adsk.core as core import adsk.fusion as fusion import adsk.cam as cam def run(context): ui: core.UserInterface = None try: app: core.Application = core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface # Select Count check sels: core.Selections = ui.activeSelections if sels.count < 1: return # Select Operation opeLst: list[cam.Operation] = [sel.entity for sel in sels] camObj: cam.CAM = app.activeProduct ncProgs: cam.NCPrograms = camObj.ncPrograms for ope in opeLst: # Create NcProgram Input ncInput: cam.NCProgramInput = ncProgs.createInput() # Set Name ncInput.displayName = ope.name # Set Nc Program Name ncInput.parameters.itemByName("nc_program_name").value.value = ope.name # Set Operation ncInput.operations = [ope] # Create NcProgram ncProgs.add(ncInput) except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
