Generating a 2D Top View from a 3D Design Script in Fusion 360

Hi, I'm using a python script in Fusion 360 to generate a 3D design, but I want to modify it to also create a 2D top view of the same design within the same script. Right now I am getting the 2d view from the tool bar by clicking on Design > Drawing > From Design but I want this job to be done by the script itself that is giving me a 3d design. I'm fairly new to coding so with some help from AI and appropriate multiple prompting, I have managed to get the script to produce the desired results up till now. However, when I use AI to edit the same script that includes the 2D top view, I keep encountering an error indicating that the current Fusion 360 API does not support this functionality.

Can anyone help me find a solution or workaround to generate a 2D top view programmatically from the same script that gives 3d design in Fusion 360?
Below I have attached the 3d design and what I want in 2d.

Hello @dedesss2002_1 ,

 

This is not yet supported workflow as far as I know, let me check with the team if there can be any workaround for this.

Thanks!

Hello @dedesss2002_1 ,

 

Right now we dont support this workflow, just to mention we already have this item in our backlog and I have shared the forum post as well with the team. I cannot make sure when we will get this workflow working but just to let you know I have already raised a concern with the respective team and probably will update you soon on this 

Thanks!
