CAM Operations Template

[Josh3GG88]

how would it be possible to pass an operation template into a setup using API?

Thanks, Josh W

Hi @Josh3GG88 -San.

You should be able to load the template with the Setup.createFromCAMTemplate2 method.

Sample code can be found here.

If you want to try it out right away, you can download the script and f3d file attached to this topic.

Thanks. I got it to work now. My biggest problem was i needed the double slash "\\" in the file path. 

now for a different question, can i add a manufacturing model body to the "job_model" parameter after i create the setup?

Thanks, Josh W

@Josh3GG88 -San.

We have created a sample that changes the model.

In the attached f3d file “Setup1”, the “Before” body is set, but change it to the “After” body.

# Fusion360API Python script

import traceback
import adsk.core as core
import adsk.fusion as fusion
import adsk.cam as cam

def run(context):
    ui: core.UserInterface = None
    try:
        app: core.Application = core.Application.get()
        ui = app.userInterface

        # CAM
        camObj: cam.CAM = app.activeProduct

        # Root Component
        rootOcc: fusion.Occurrence = camObj.designRootOccurrence
        rootComp: fusion.Component = rootOcc.component

        # Body "After"
        occ: fusion.Occurrence = rootComp.occurrences[0]
        body: fusion.BRepBody = occ.component.bRepBodies[0]
        body = body.createForAssemblyContext(occ)

        # Setup
        setup: cam.Setup = camObj.setups[0]

        # CAMParameter "job_model"
        param: cam.CAMParameter = setup.parameters.itemByName("job_model")

        # Change Model
        param.value.value = [body]

        ui.messageBox("Done")

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
