Import/Export configuration tables to xls or csv

Stevo_Magoo — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 02:57:55 GMT

Hi all,

At the recent online deep dive for Fusion Configurations for Design and Manufacturing Excellence, it was confirmed by the hosts (verbally in final Q&A, but not via demo) that configuration tables were able to be imported/exported to (i.e Excel) tables as some other programs can. Does anybody know how/where to find the function for this? Doesn't seem to be any obvious commands in the menu screens (unless I've spent so long looking for it I can't see it right in front of my face).

Thanks

Hi @Stevo_Magoo, Fusion does not have the ability to import/export the configurations table. A same feedback was received from AU 2024, we have started the investigation on this.

Hi Steve,

It was mentioned in the online deep dive that configurations API support was released with the March update. This means that you would have the ability to create a script or add in to interact with external programs.

Here's the API reference manual where you will find more information:

Here is a link to an Add-In I have used for years. Even if you do not use it, it may give you some ideas.

Hi @EvanGu , Would be a very useful standard feature for users with tens/hundreds of product configurations. Hope the investigation proves worthwhile.

@Stevo_Magoo following the instructions of @jhackney1972, with some knowledge of Excel, and a previous model with customed parameters, you should be able to change parameters for different configuration models.
The work process that fits better for me is:
1- Once you have your model with basic parameters, export the parameters into a CSV.
2- Then, change the data to make the new configuration, and save it to a new CSV sheet.
3- Then inside Fusion360, you can create a copy of the first configuration model.
4- The new configuration model (copy of the first one) should include the changed parameters, so just actualize them with the Add-In specified (Parameter I/O).

With this process, you will be able to do it practically automatically.

Just create an easy-to-change Excel sheet, and then convert it into CSV format. If you dominate this process the rest is straightforward.
