Syntax or examples of scripts done with the Textcommands

[kymC6Q8L]

Hello,

odd question, i know textcommands are some what deprecated in favour of using the python api.

I have taken a look through this amazing list: https://github.com/kantoku-code/Fusion360_Small_Tools_for_Developers/blob/master/TextCommands/TextCo...

I was wondering if somone could point me to some examples or some od docs that show the syntax or examples of using the textcommands in a script?

Cheers
Kym

Hi @kymC6Q8L .

There is probably no official information about text commands.

I have left what I have found out by trying it out in these two pieces.

The other useful description is this one that @thomasa88 found for me.

You can find some specific examples in the forum by searching for "executeTextCommand".
The only thing left to do is to look at the list of commands and try them in the GUI.

I forgot to mention that the characters output to the text command window can be obtained as the return value of the executeTextCommand method.
