Compare and Edit after running script

[dames123]

I have a script I run that creates NCPrograms. It's crude as I'm not a coder. There's one line that creates an error when using Compare and Edit after creating the NCPrograms. It does something to the flag to set the machine to 1.

prg.machine = setup.machine  # Set the machine to the same as the setup

I get the following error message in Compare and edit.

Is this a bug in Fusion or is there another way to write that line in the script?

#n360API Python script

            if setup.machine:

                machineName = setup.machine.getName() if hasattr(setup.machine, 'getName') else "Unnamed Machine"

            # Log or display the machine name

            prg = ncPrograms.add(ncIpt)
            prg.machine = setup.machine  # Set the machine to the same as the setup
            
            
            

            # Duplicate the NCProgram
            duplicatedPrg = prg.duplicate()
            if duplicatedPrg:
                
                camObj.ncPrograms[-1].name = (setup.name + " SETUPSHEET")
                #ncParameters = duplicatedPrg.parameters
                
                # Set the post processor path only for the duplicated program
                post_processor_path = 'linked://' + 'setup-sheet-excel-2007.cps'
                ncParameters.itemByName('nc_program_post').value.value = post_processor_path
                
                
            else:
             ui.messageBox(f"Failed to duplicate NCProgram for setup: {setup.name}")
            

        ui.messageBox("Dont forget to set your tool numbers")

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

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

It seems that your are not using the last version I sent, because that sentence where you get the error is not in that latest version.
If you're using other version, it is very handy that you share your routine/function so we can analyze it and provide a feedback. Just the error message is not enough (I believe)

Regards,
Jorge Jaramillo

tried the last version, it crashed fusion, hmm going to remove machine from setup, going to try

[nubrandao]

It works now, I have to change to my current post Heidenhain 

Perfect
