Decal API - how to replace image file by script

[rmiglioriEKDK2]

Hi, 

I am trying to find a way to quickly change the color of many decals in my design at once. I have many objects/components (keycaps, like on your keyboard, to be specific), each with a separate, unique decal. I'd like to be able to change the color of every one of these decals at once, and I can't seem to find a solution to that problem. 

Assuming there's no easy solution, can I write a python script? I know python, but am unfamiliar with the Fusion API. Here's what I would like the script to do: 

- Find every decal in the design 

- Replace decal image with new image of the same name from a specified folder 

That's all really. I.e., right clicking on the decal and clicking "replace image file" works fine. I just need a script that does it automatically and for every decal in the design. 

Thanks. Please let me know if I need to clarify anything. Happy to provide additional information.

I am afraid to say Decal functionality is not exposed through Fusion API.

lol why....

Talk about irritating. Could you guys maybe, like, add it?

Hello,

Do you have any plan to add this functionality to the Fusion API?

[BrianEkins]

Ideally, all Fusion functionality would be exposed through the API. However, there are limited resources to work on this, and there has been very little demand for automating decals, so it's always been a low priority. It will help the developers if you can describe the specific workflow with decals that you would like to automate.

Whatever, fusion sucks anyway

We've a special application that helps to our clients to customize their products in 2D web application. We've integrated this application to Fusion 360 through Add-In scripts. In this case, if even user has not experience with 3D concepts they can able to make 3D render result by using this method. Only one missing thing and it's Decal. Our clients also needs to add a custom image to the face of a surface. I will be happy if there is another way to make this happens. Thanks.
