Dimensions Report / Cut-list

Anonymous — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 16:46:10 GMT

Hi there!

I'm trying to find a 3D software that generates a list of dimensions of every part/element used on the project.

I know that Fusion has the BOM feature, but I just want a list with the lenght, width and thickness of the parts. Is this possible with Fusion?

Can someone help me?

Thank you so much!

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! While Fusion 360 does not have a function to create a report of every dimension used in a component, you may be able to use the CSV-BOM add-in to output a CSV table that includes x, y, and z bounding box dimensions. You can install the add-in using the instructions here.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Ran into this issue with only about 50 parts. Ended up writing a small python script that

- prints out size report (dimensions sorted, longest last)

- updates component description so it will show up in part list table on drawings

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion def run(context): app = adsk.core.Application.get() product = app.activeProduct design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(product) # Get the root component of the active design. rootComp = design.rootComponent # Get occurences from root occurrences = rootComp.occurrences for idx in range(0, occurrences.count): occ = occurrences.item(idx) subcomp = occ.component for bidx in range(0, subcomp.bRepBodies.count): body = subcomp.bRepBodies.item(bidx) dimvector = body.boundingBox.minPoint.vectorTo(body.boundingBox.maxPoint).asPoint() dims=sorted(dimvector.asArray()) formx = product.unitsManager.formatInternalValue(dims[0]) formy = product.unitsManager.formatInternalValue(dims[1]) formz = product.unitsManager.formatInternalValue(dims[2]) print (f'{idx},{body.name}, {formx}, {formy}, {formz}\r') subcomp.description=f'{formx} x {formy} x {formz}'

Save to file, open Text Commands and switch to `(x) Py`

Run this command:

import neu_dev; neu_dev.run_script("/path-to-file/partsizes.py")

Prints part dimension list that looks like this:

3,Front side, 1.50 in, 3.00 in, 54.00 in 4,Inside width support, 1.50 in, 3.00 in, 33.00 in 5,Inside width support (1), 1.50 in, 3.00 in, 33.00 in 6,Body1, 1.50 in, 3.00 in, 28.50 in

Unfortunately the the CSV-BOM add-in doesn't appear to be available any more - does anyone have further suggestions. Thanks
