Property value (i.e. model version #) in a text object

gwestep — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 20:21:45 GMT

I would like to deboss the file version into my model, sort of like a serial # and I want the text to reflect the current version of the file I'm working on. For example, if I'm on version 21 and the current text debossed onto my object is "v21", after I save the model, I want to text to say "v22" automatically instead of having to edit the text sketch every time. Is this possible?

Hi @gwestep

Currently, Autodesk Fusion does not support the feature to automatically update a text object with the version number of the file. The software does not have an integrated function that dynamically updates text based on the model's save version.

However, i think you can achieve a similar outcome using Autodesk Fusion 360's API (Application Programming Interface). You can write a script that updates the text in your model to reflect the current version number every time you save your file

For detailed guidance on writing Fusion scripts, you can refer to the Autodesk Fusion 360 API Documentation which provides comprehensive information on how to interact with the API.

If you have any specific questions while working on this, feel free to ask in the Fusion API forum
