Call Fusion from Command line with python script argument?

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to launch Fusion from the command prompt and pass it an argument to run a python script? Something like:

> fusion -script box.py

If not, I think it would be awesome to add this feature.

This is not currently possible.  There will be support for add-ins in the near future, which is essentially a script that runs automatically whenever Fusion is started.  That might be another and possibly better solution for whatever you're trying to do.

So what I was think was writing a program that called Fusion and automatically starts a python script that opens a socket. Then send information to Fusion through that socket. That way I could drive Fusion from another program and not be restricted by the Fusion environment.

I was thinking about this mainly so that I could use a Python program using Qt in a separate Python instance (using my local Python install with all the libraries and not have a Qt conflict) send the commands through the socket to a "translator" script running in Fusion.

You could do this now, just need to open Fusion manually and start the script.

This could even be opened up to a server running in Fusion on one machine receiving inputs from multiple other machines/devices/etc.
