Condition:
Fusion 360 Build 20.5278
Windows 10, Startup License
Model file with a simple profile (location: https://a360.co/
Attached python script.
Run Python Script.
Expect the first sketch profile to be selected to which an offset (with a reference point) is created .12 cm (1.2 mm) to the outside of the profile. The reference point is assumed to be outside the profile (within the context of this usage).
Observation:
After running the script, the sketch was edited. There was a dimension applied to the offset which had a value of 0.00. The offset was measured at 1.2 mm with the Measure tool.
Comments:
My normal unit preferences are in mm.
