I cant get an Addin to work, stateSaver or DisplaySaver & FusionBolter

Looking for assistance.  Anyone had success/issues with installing and using any or all of 3 of Patrick Rainsberrys’ AddIns?

DisplaySaver https://github.com/tapnair/DisplaySaver

stateSaver https://github.com/tapnair/stateSaver

FusionBolter https://github.com/tapnair/FusionBolter

At least on one installation, I was able to get to the point of confirming/allowing access to my Google Drive.  I have tried/retried following the instructions found online several times, also tried using the GitHub To Fusion360 script to install the AddIns for me.  Have removed and reinstalled, rebooted, shut down and restarted Fusion.  To confirm my system I also attempted and had no issue with installing and using Patricks AddIn Nester https://github.com/tapnair/NESTER

For my work Patrick has produced some very useful and helpful AddIns,  He appears to be extremely talented and has multiple Plugins that align with my needs.  Here is a link to a list of some of his Fusion 360 Plugins https://tapnair.github.io/index.html

 

I just wish I could figure out what I am doing wrong!

Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I quickly try DisplayServer add-in and it works for me. Just follow below steps. In case you are using tabbed UI, switching to old UI might help.

 

1. Download the code in zip file from GitHub and extract it.

2. Run Scripts and Add-Ins command.

3. Click on Add-in tab and click on + button

4. Select the folder where you extracted the contents of zip file

5. Display saver will show up in list. Select it and click on Start button

6. Display saver command is added at the end in navigation bar at the bottom-centre of Fusion canvas.

 

I hope it helps.

I really appreciate your help.

Wow... I had already installed DisplaySaver and stateSaver.   Checked and they still failed.  Set my UI to the old style and shut down, opened back up and it worked!.....

I then set the UI back to the Preview and tested and they both still worked. (both Display and stateSaver....)

I will let Patrick know.

Still having issues with FusionBolter.  I will remove and reinstall and see what occurs.

 

Thanks again,
