Edit text value in API

[RobotBee]

I have a simple model - basically a square with 9 holes in it and text at the bottom. I need to change the hole diameter and text based on a table of values. The hole diameter is easy to change base on a parametric value, but I can't seem to edit the text value with the API.

This returns the current text value, but errors when setting the text value to a new string (textinputitem.text = "booyah")

def run(context😞

    ui = None

    try:

        app = adsk.core.Application.get()

        ui  = app.userInterface

        ui.messageBox("Running")

        design = app.activeProduct

        rootComp = design.rootComponent

        features = rootComp.features

        sketches = app.activeProduct.rootComponent.sketches  

        bRepBodies = app.activeProduct.rootComponent.bRepBodies

        textsketch = sketches.itemByName("Sketch1")

        textsketchtexts = textsketch.sketchTexts

        textinputitem = textsketchtexts.item(0)

        actualwords = textinputitem.text

        ui.messageBox(str(actualwords))

        textinputitem.text = "booyah"

Hi @RobotBee .

It worked fine.
Update may be the cause.
Is it the same even if I restart Fusion360?

I restarted computer and Fusion360 this is the error that I'm getting. Since you say that its working for you I'll make another model and see if I'm getting something odd going on.

Hello,

See this: [Bug] Unable to modify text of a sketchText created manually with negative angle

[kandennti]

I tried it with the attached data, but there was no problem.
I don't know the cause of the error.

Ok so I think it is a bug.

Due to the way that I modeled the text it applied upside down so I used a -180deg angle to get it flipped over. Fusion360 is fine with the -180 but the API doesn't like the negative 180, when that is changed to +180 it works fine.

Thanks for the help get it sorted out!
