Add menu item to Flat pattern modify panel?

[thomasa88]

Is there any way to add a command to the flat pattern modify panel?

I have looked at UI interface dumps and I cannot seem to find the panel.

This seems to be a related problem: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-api-and-scripts-forum/add-in-not-shown-in-quot-flat-pattern-qu...

Something is weird here, but I think I found a solution for your specific issue. I believe the following code will return the "FLAT PATTERN SOLID" tab, where you'll find the expected tabs and should be able to add your commands.

flatTab = ui.allToolbarTabs.itemById('FlatPatternSolidTab') 

The weird thing is that I can't figure out which workspace that tab belongs to. It doesn't really matter because we can access it directly instead of going through the workspace, but it's not working like I expected.

That works, thank you!

I ended up with these two lines:

ui.allToolbarTabs.itemById('FlatPatternSolidTab').toolbarPanels.itemById('SolidModifyPanel')

ui.allToolbarTabs.itemById('FlatPatternSurfaceTab').toolbarPanels.itemById('SurfaceModifyPanel')
