ChatGPT Script Issue

[aaronkcap]

Let me preface this with I am pretty bad with python coding. I was messing around with ChatGPT to make a script in fusion that creates  an exfruded profile of text based off of user input of the text and font size, and can't seem to figure out what the error is or why it is not working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion

# Function to create a profile
def create_profile(name, font_size):
app = adsk.core.Application.get()
ui = app.userInterface
design = app.activeProduct

# Get the active component
root_comp = design.activeComponent
sketches = root_comp.sketches
extrudes = root_comp.features.extrudeFeatures

# Create a sketch on the XY plane
sketch = sketches.add(root_comp.xYConstructionPlane)

# Prompt the user for input
name_input = ui.inputBox("Enter a name for the profile:", "Name", name)
if name_input[0]:
name = name_input[0]

font_size_input = ui.inputBox("Enter the font size:", "Font Size", font_size)
if font_size_input[0]:
font_size = float(font_size_input[0])

# Create text
text_point = adsk.core.Point3D.create(0, 0, 0)
text_entity = sketch.sketchTexts.add(name, text_point, False)

# Set text style
text_entity.fontName = "Lucida Calligraphy Italic"
text_entity.textHeight = font_size

# Extrude the profile
prof = sketch.profiles.item(0)
ext_input = extrudes.createInput(prof, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation)
ext_input.setDistanceExtent(adsk.core.ValueInput.createByString("1 cm"))
ext = extrudes.add(ext_input)

ui.messageBox("Profile created successfully.")

# Call the create_profile function
create_profile("", 12)

I suggest posting code in code sections, so others can easily read what you are trying to do.

Put that script inside a script template and run it. The default script boilerplate includes "error logging" via ui.messageBox. After doing that, You'll get an error 'TypeError: Wrong number or type of arguments for overloaded function' for your second ui.inputBox because your default value is an integer, but the default value is expected to be string.

Hi @aaronkcap -San.

I have tried to fix it so that there are no errors, but I am not sure if I am doing the process you want.

# Fusion360API Python script

        create_profile("", 12)

    except:

    # Extrude the profile
    extrudes.addSimple(

        fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation,

    ui.messageBox("Profile created successfully.")

The Fusion360 scripts that chatGPT writes out are often incomplete.
