Fusion 360 API stand alone applications

Hi,

Is there any way to use Fusion360 API in standalone projects like NXOpen. 
One can create, modify, inspect and save the file or export it as a STEP file or import it.

So, can Fusion360 API be used in this way?
If so, would you please guide a little bit.

 

Regards,

Tahir

No, that's not possible. The API is only accessible from a script or add-in running inside of Fusion 360.

Thank you for your reply.

I want to know is there a way to access the information related to a CAD file. API deals with creation not with accessing the information of already designed models.

There is a significant amount of API to access existing information in a Fusion 360 file. For example, I can query a sketch to determine the geometry and constraints it contains. I can also query a model to know what features were used to construct it and the inputs used for the features. One of the most important areas are all of the B-Rep related objects and the geometry objects that let you examine the shape of an existing solid or surface model.
