What is the path to Fusion 360 API internal module adsk?

[Le_Bear]

I did manage to get VS Code to work with Fusion to debug, and this is neat. The only thing missing now is to get Intellisense to work for the API. It works just fine for any "standard" python, but not having it for the API kinda defeat the purpose of using VS Code.

Not sure were the settings/parameters for Spyder are, guess I could find it there.

Thanks for your help,

regards,

Bernard

Hello,

The intelligense files for Python API are located under "%localappdata%Autodesk\webdeploy\production\<xxxx>\Api\Python\packages\adsk\defs\adsk". Ideally it should work in VS Code if you add the path to the setting as described as blew:

https://donjayamanne.github.io/pythonVSCodeDocs/docs/autocomplete/

Thanks,

Thanks, I was not sure and stopped at packages\adsk. Should work now, I hope!

How do I know which numbers <xxxx> to pick? I have two instances that have Api\python

Do I just pick one at random? Where's the real adsk

in my case, the API-path was only populated in one of the five instances I had in the "production" directory.

All the others contained only an empty __init__.py file.

If it's useful, here's the code my fusion 360 plugin for PyCharm/IDEA uses to find the path to the fusion directory.

It basically just iterates through every guid directory until it finds the non-empty one.

I found it in "~/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360/API/Python/defs".
