I would personally put that code in a new "testing" script. It's also good practice to use the framework above (or something similar) to make it easier to find bugs in your code.
Also I noticed that the code in the original post was not formatted to create a drop down menu. The Fusion API has the capability of creating a drop down menu on its own, but I personally use/recommend going with the Python library tkinter for most inputs that don't require manual selection in the Fusion user interface (selecting models, sketches, lines, etc.)
from tkinter import *
def backBone(root):
# gather the input and destroy the window
desiredFont = textStr.get()
runMultiple = mpCheck.get()
root.destroy()
availableFonts = ["Romans.shx","Yada","Yada"," Another Option"]
root = Tk()
# use width x height + x_offset + y_offset (no spaces!)
root.geometry("%dx%d+%d+%d" % (250, 125, 1400, 300))
root.title("Options")
root.configure(bg="DeepSkyBlue")
mpCheck = IntVar()
Checkbutton(root, text="- Run Multiple Plates", variable=mpCheck, bg="DeepSkyBlue").grid(row=2, column=2, padx=(60, 0), pady=(20, 20))
textStr = StringVar(root)
# initial value
textStr.set('Romans.shx')
option = OptionMenu(root, textStr, *availableFonts)
option.config(bg = "DeepSkyBlue") # Set background color to green
option.grid(row=3, column=2, padx=(0, 10), pady=(0, 10))
# when the button is pressed the function backBone is called with root being passed as a parameter (used to kill the window later on)
button = Button(root, text="Run", command=lambda:backBone(root), bg="DeepSkyBlue")
button.grid(row=3, column=4, padx=(0, 10), pady=(0, 10))
root.mainloop()
Here's just a simple (and pretty visually unappealing) UI I made for one of my add-ins. Feel free to adjust it to your liking. If you want to have your inputs be both height and length in one drop down option...
options = ["30/40","40/50"]
# get the selected string ex. "30/40"
selectedOption = inputVar.get()
# Split the string with the slash
selectedOption = selectionOption.split("/")
# This will return ["30","40"]
# Allowing you to do something like this.
height = selectedOption[0] # The first number in the list
length = selectedOption[1] # Second item
# The "/" could be replaced with anything
