Automatically_Select_Faces_For_Drilling_Ops

[echatzief]

Hello, I am reading a step file containing a body (s) in fusion 360 env.

The body contains of multiple holes, where the main operation of my interest is drilling.

I have a script by which I am able to iterate through the holes, finding their diamtere, radius, coords, etc.

Now I want to go ahead with a simulation in the program, by which I can extract the post processor code, though in my Setup, the drilling operation is not capable without selecting the holes (faces) on the body.

NOW I WANT TO BE ABLE TO AUTOMATICALLY SELECT THOSE HOLES (FACES), WITHOUT THE INTERRUPTION OF THE USER.

Please, be kind to inform me if this is possible or not.

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, this is not currently possible using the API. The current CAM API is incomplete. Hopefully, this functionality will be available soon.

However, you might want to look at the machining extension for Fusion. This provides access to several enhanced capabilities for machining. One of these is hole recognition and here's a video that demonstrates how to use it.

Hello @kandennti !

I have tried to create a setup via the api, though because of the text commands used, I am not able to save my file.

Could you please give me a hand here, and update me if the same happens to you?
Thank you in advance!!
