Edit grid spacing in Fusion360 through API

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to get access to grid settings in order to fix the grid and change grid spacing, like in grid and snaps programmatically using the API?

Hi @Anonymous .

I created a sample that changes the grid.

#Fusion360API Python script
import adsk.core, adsk.fusio, traceback

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

        # grid setting
        setGrid(2,10)

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


# majerGridSpacing - unit Cm
def setGrid(
    majerGridSpacing :float,
    minorSubdivisions :float
    ):

    cmds = [
        u'NuCommands.DefineGridCmd',
        u'Commands.SetDouble GridSpacingInput {}'.format(majerGridSpacing),
        u'Commands.SetDouble GridsubdivisionsInput {}'.format(minorSubdivisions),
        u'NuCommands.CommitCmd'
    ]

    app = adsk.core.Application.get()
    [app.executeTextCommand(cmd) for cmd in cmds]

For more information on how to use TextCommands, see here.

@kandennti thank you for your response, do you know about the TextCommand for fit with the shortcut F6? I tried '

Camera.ZoomOut' but it isn't that accurate. Do you know the command for Fit in the zoom window?

There is a Viewport.fit.
