In manufacturing machine and tool library data

[zak.henry]

Hi,

I'm trying to work out how to get access to the machine and tool library data for my current setup. I've dug around the docs and fiddled with the python api with a breakpoint and I can't find where in the document this information resides?

Also once I have this data, is there an easy way to see which machine for example is selected in a setup? I see there is a set of `CAMParameter`s in Setup starting with `job_machine_` but they don't seem to relate to the machine I have actually selected (I selected Haas VF2 but these params refer to `renishaw250` which isn't something I selected.

Thanks for any pointers!

There is some functionality that's not yet finished that is there but because it's not finished or supported, it's not documented. The API for the CAM functionality in Fusion is still a work in progress.  However, you can play a bit with what's there and see if you can get what you need.  The Setup object supports a machine property that returns a Machine object. Even without documentation, using code hints in VS Code, you'll be able to see the various properties supported by the Machine object.

Hey thanks for your response. Unfortunately I have fairly exhaustively searched through what Fusion provides regarding machine data and it doesn't have the information that I want (which frustratingly is present in the UI). An example is maximum spindle speed, but the API so far only has some kinematic information about the axes.

I guess I'll just need to hold tight until Autodesk fully fleshes out the API, fingers crossed.
