Where to install a Python module so a Python script can import it?

[cadTPLWJ]

In F360 running on Win10, I want to use "import svgwrite" in my script. 

Where shall I "pip install " to for this to work?

I realise this has been asked a lot before, but I have not found anything that works for me yet.

Hi,

In this topic https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-api-and-scripts/import-data-from-excel-type-xlsx/m-p/11249... on message #5 I gave a solution step-by-step to make it work.

Please take into account that Fusion 360 will include soon Python's version 3.10 and the procedure could change.

I hope this could help.

In the Text Command window in Fusion you will get something like this:

Please tel me, where will this text appear?

Which text are you talking about?
Didn't get your question. Please explain it.

You say -->  7. Finally run the script and check for the data in Text Commands window:

As an inexperienced user I can't find the "Text Commands window"

Hi @cadTPLWJ ,

Under menu File > View > Hide/Show Text Commands you can hide/display the Text Command window which by default is located in Fusion's lower area:

Every app.log() call will print the output to this window.  I use it often to test my developments.

@Jorge_Jaramillo 

app.log() is a nice debug tool, thanks!

Also got the pip install to work as described. Again, Thanks!
