Importing a Custom Script in a Python Module

[EddyWagner]

Hi all,

I found a way to import a custom part in a Plant 3D Python script.
I used the post below as a reference, but I’m receiving the following message from Plant:

And now, when I run the test, I get this message:

Command: (testacpscript "CPVKSOFL0000")
Script CPVKSOFL0000 not found...
nil

Here is my Python code:

import os
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "T:\\Plant3D\\00 - Catalogos\\CPak Common\\CustomScripts")
from ANEL_SMS import *
from varmain.custom import *
from aqa.math import * 
import math

@activate(Group="Flange", TooltipShort="SO Flange", TooltipLong="Slip On Flange", FirstPortEndtypes="FL", LengthUnit="mm",  Ports="2")
@group("MainDimensions")
@param(D=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Outer Diameter of the Flange", TooltipLong="Outer Diameter of the Flange")
@param(D1=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Pipe Diameter", TooltipLong="Pipe Diameter")
@param(T=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Length of the Flange", TooltipLong="Length of the Flange")
@param(OF=LENGTH, TooltipShort="Thickness offset", TooltipLong="Thickness offset")

    return

I suppose your T: drive is an external drive, can you try to put it local? or replace t: with the actual adress?

[matt.worland]

Where does ANEL_SMS reside? Is it a PY file?

Based on the error, it can't find that file:

  File "t:\plant3d\00 - catalogos\cpak common\customscripts\testes\CPVKSOFL0000.py", line 4, in <module>
    from ANEL_SMS import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ANEL_SMS'

Hi,
Thank you, @Michiel.Valcke  — changing the drive letter "T:" to the full path of the NAS server resolved the issue.

@matt.worland , yes, ANEL_SMS is a .py file, but the problem was the use of "T:" as the drive letter for my NAS server.

Thank you!

Edit:

Another issue might be when the .py file is open during the execution of the PLANTREGISTERCUSTOMSCRIPTS command.
That might actually be the real problem...

Please always specify the UNC path when linking *.py files. Anything else cannot be resolved under Windows.
