Open Cloud File From URL

[ndrwksr]

Hello,

I am creating an add-in which will export a specific occurrence from any assembly opened from a URL, but I can not figure out how to open a design from the Fusion 360 cloud. How can I build a URL to open a design from myhub.autodesk360.com and trigger a openedFromUrl handler?

Thanks!

You'll want to read this topic from the API help.

https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-8A2C4ECD-7D82-4E56-AFE8-4FA72464AE66

When you do this, you're not working on the file that is one the web but you're working on a copy of it. If you want to edit a file that you have access to through Fusion Teams, you'll want to use the Data portion of the API that allows you to traverse the hubs, projects, and folders to get the specific file you want to open, You can then use the Documents.open method to open that file in Fusion 360. This is exactly equivalent to opening a file from the Data Panel.
