Create New Component Using API

[isocam]

Can anybody help???

Is it possible, using Fusion 360 API, to capture the "Create New Component" function?

At present, I have to manually input a name for the new component. If the assembly is, for example, 1000 every time I right mouse click "Create New Component", can the part number be the assembly number + 1.

For example,

1000

Part Numbers 1000-001, 1000-002, 1000-003 etc

Many thanks in advance!!!!

Hello,

The following sample demonstrates how to create new component and set "name" or "part number" by API.

Thanks,

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback

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

    design = adsk.fusion.Design.cast(app.activeProduct)
    root = design.rootComponent
    
    for i in range(10):
        occ = root.occurrences.addNewComponent(adsk.core.Matrix3D.create())
        occ.component.name = 'My Component{}'.format(i)

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