Export SketchPoint Coordinates in csv file

[_fabschke_]

Hi,

I want to export coordinates of a point (more points in the future) to a csv-file.

I am not an experienced coder, but even with help of google and some friends I couldn't figure it out.

I tried the in python included csv module, csv.DictWriter etc. but i always get the same error.

OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: 'coordinates.csv'

I tried moving the directory of the .py file to different paths, where I know i have write rights but still the error persists.

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback, csv 
app = adsk.core.Application.get() 
ui = app.userInterface 
pntEntity = ui.selectEntity('Select a sketch point', 'SketchPoints') 

pnt = adsk.fusion.SketchPoint.cast(pntEntity.entity) 
fields=['X-Coord','Y-Coord','Z-Coord'] 
with open(r'coordinates.csv', 'a') as coord_csv: 
writer = csv.writer(coord_csv) 
writer.writerow(fields)
writer.writerow('{0}'.format(pnt.geometry.x))

Hello,

pass the full path of the CSV file to the open function.

The execution path is not the same as the one where your py file is stored.

Try this small example:

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

import os

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        ui.messageBox('{}\n{}'.format(os.getcwd(), os.path.dirname(__file__)))

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

Wow, that was easy!

Yes that worked!

Thank you very much

For exporting points coordinates to a csv file, i use python add-in you can download from github,
you find it searching for username kantoku and go to repository
Fusion360-ExportSketchPointsCoordinate, or click here: https://github.com/kantoku-code/Fusion360-ExportSketchPointsCoordinate

I just checked the code you uploaded and it is not correct. Somehow I don't get the coordinates of the construction points.
