Creating a Python Interface for the Fusion API that simplifies common tasks

All,

 

Just wanted to let you know that I am creating a python module I am calling EZFusionAPI.  The idea is to create classes and methods within EZFusionAPI that collect and automate the most common tasks that are done in a python script for Fusion 360.  It's function will be much more similar to how we use the ribbons and ribbon items in Fusion 360.

 

The fusion 360 API that Autodest is developing is awesome and powerful, but it isn't as user friendly as it could be fbecasue they want to maintain access to every possible item in Fusion 360.  This is a good thing, but it also means that when you write a program to do most things, your code ends up repetitive and long.  The EZFusionAPI collects those repetative tasks into methods and classes so that you can go about your buisiness of creating whatever your heart desires without necessarily having to get into the nitty gritty of the fusion API.  If you want/need to, all of the underlying API features of the autodesk api are still available in the EZFusionAPI objects.

 

I will soon be making the code availabe on my website www.21stCenturyWoodworking.com
