Save selected dropdown item in class item

[Anonymous]

Dear Fusion-Community

For my semesterthesis I am creating an automated order tool for additive manufacturing parts directly out of Fusion. Therefore, I implemented a user-interface where the designer can select the body in Fusion and then he can choose from own defined properties like material, finishing, supplier etc from a dropdown list.

After having all properties selected, I want to save all selected properties in a class. Therefore I used "Bolt" sample code and changed it accordingly. Since I use other CommandInputs (like dropdownlists) than in the sample, I struggle with saving the selected item of the drowdown list in the right data format. The output of code used below (input.selectedItem) is "<adsk.core.ListItem; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'adsk::core::Ptr< adsk::core::ListItem > *' at 0x14f6906f0> >", but I want to have the value of the selected item.

Many thanks in advance for your support!

Daniel

The DropDownCommandInput object supports the "selectedItem" property, which you are already using.  This property returns a ListItem object.  The ListItem object supports the "name" property, which will return the string that you see in the drop-down.  I think that's what you want.

Thanks a lot for your answer!

It worked like this:

---

                elif input.id == 'commandId':
                    for element in input.listItems:
                         if element.isSelected:
                             dropdown_selection = element.name
