dataFile and addByInsert do Not Work

[tperam]

hi,

   dataFile and addByInsert do Not Work.

I don't know the exact syntax to declare the datafile.

My test code is given below.

Please correct my code.

I think you are trying to insert a design from your local disk. To do that you need to use importManager class. Please take a look at this sample https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-3f24e9e8-422d-11e5-937b-f8b156d7cd97

Once the document is opened in Fusion, you can get the data file using this property, https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-99CAED33-B90B-4548-823B-81048BC5BB0E, available on document class.

Hi Goyals,

thanks for your repsonse.

Your 2nd link https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-99CAED33-B90B-4548-823B-81048BC5BB0E does not work.

I added the following into my code:

It gives me a Memory Error 107 at the dataFile line.

Pls can you modify my  C++ code so that it works.

Thanks,
Thurai

Not sure why the link did not work for you. I just tried again and it seems working for me. May be you add below two lines in your code to get the data file for the imported document. I hope it helps. Thanks.

Ptr<Document> document  = importManager->importToNewDocument(archiveOptions);

Ptr<DataFile> datFile = document->dataFile()

Hi Goyals,

                 thanks for your response.

I added the following code given below. It went through the code without any error message.

But it did not go through the dataFile step

Pls Correct it and Test it at your end.

The two lines of code:
const std::string archiveFileName = "E:\\Backups\\Fusion 360\\FeatureExtrude.f3d";
Ptr<FusionArchiveImportOptions> archiveOptions = importManager->createFusionArchiveImportOptions(archiveFileName);

is opening the file and inserting the Component at (0,0,0), before reaching the lines of code:

Ptr<Document> document = importManager->importToNewDocument(archiveOptions);
if(!document)
return false;

Ptr<DataFile> dataFile = document->dataFile();
if(!dataFile)
return false;

So my issues is to insert the component at the selected(x, y, z) location using addByInsert(dataFile, insertMatrix, true)..

The complete code is given below.

My issues is still  to make it go through the statement:

Ptr<DataFile> dataFile = document->dataFile();
if(!dataFile)
return false;

and insert the component at the selected insertPoint (10, 20, 30) location using

addByInsert(dataFile, insertMatrix, true);

Now the program Stops at the statement: 

Ptr<DataFile> dataFile = document->dataFile();

@tperam ,

DataFile is associated with a document saved on cloud. In your case the file is imported from the disk and not uploaded to cloud yet hence dataFile is coming as null. You can try to save the document on cloud first before getting the dataFile object or you can upload it to the cloud through API.

[goyals]

Here is a sample script showing how to save a file to cloud. I assumed document is already opened in Fusion and is currently active document.

app = adsk.core.Application.get()

data = app.data

project = app.activeProject

folder = project.rootFolder

doc.saveAs("MyFile",folder,"Description","Tag")

Hi Goyals,

                 Thanks for your response.

I have saved the File "FeatureExtude v1.f3d" to the Cloud in "My First Project"

How do I refer to this  in my C++ code?

Can you modify my code below to reflect this file in the Cloud.

Thanks Goyals
