Close Fusion 360 through API/text command?

[j.han97]

Hi all,

Regarding the topic, is it possible to close Fusion 360 application through API/text command?

I could not find anything related to this in the documentation.

@j.han97 If you're on Windows, "Fn+Alt+F4" closes Fusion 360.

Hi @j.han97 .

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to exit, but I think it's done.

# Fusion360API Python script

import traceback
import adsk.fusion
import adsk.core

def run(context):
    ui: adsk.core.UserInterface = None
    try:
        app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui = app.userInterface

        exitApplication()

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

def exitApplication():
    app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get()

    # close all doc
    docs = [doc for doc in app.documents]
    [doc.close(False) for doc in docs[::-1]]

    # close asset
    app.executeTextCommand(u'NuCommands.CloseAssetCmd')

    # Exit Application
    app.executeTextCommand(u'NuCommands.ExitApplicationCmd')

Thanks @kandennti ,

I have tried your code and despite several error messages, the application quitted as expected. Thank you!

@j.han97 .

After searching for details, I found a CommandDefinition to exit.

I think this is safer.

def exitApplication():
    app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get()

    # close all doc
    docs = [doc for doc in app.documents]
    [doc.close(False) for doc in docs[::-1]]

    # Exit Application CommandDefinition
    ui: adsk.core.UserInterface = app.userInterface
    cmdDef: adsk.core.CommandDefinition = ui.commandDefinitions.itemById(
        'ExitApplicationCommand')

    # Execute
    if cmdDef:
        cmdDef.execute()

Thank you @kandennti, I believe this is safer than using text command too.
