"Text Command" Always Appear On Every Startup

Hi

I had my previous problem partially solved and no more replies afterwards. Figured that I should probably make a new thread (probably) even if it means to spam the forum as long as I got problem solved.

 

Anyway, I got my problem of grid always disabled on every startup no matter what solved link above, and now I got this particular problem, the "text commands" console or whatever it is will always appear even if I go through file > view > hide text commands > restart f360. Then "text commands" still be there

 

I got some visual style file error or something also in the link above that's shown in the text commands.

 

I just don't want this text command to keep re-appearing persistently every startup, how?

Hello,

 

Fusion 360 keeps opening the Text Command dialog because an error occurs in a script loaded at startup.

 

Two solutions:

  • Remove the script or disable its "Run at startup" option.
  • Contact the author of the script to fix the issue

I gave you more specific information in your previous thread.

I resolved the errors by re-installing the latest version of the said plugin that has error in the text commands console.
No more errors during startup anymore.
However the text commands is still persistently present during startup of f360

This is a bug.

 

There is a file named NGlobalOptions.xml in which Fusion store options (in C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Neutron Platform\Options\ on Windows).

 

If the following line exist in the file, then the "Text Command" window is opened at startup:

 

<WantToShowTextCommands ToolTip="La fenêtre de commande textuelle doit-elle s'afficher?" UserName="Afficher les commandes de texte" Value="1"/>

 

When you click on "Hide Text Command" (menu File > View) then this line is removed from the XML file. But the next time you run Fusion 360, this line reappears in the file.

 

My guess is that Fusion 360 should set the Value field to 0 in the above XML entry instead of removing the entire line.

Yes. I tried to manually set the value to 0 but it is overwritten to 1 when Fusion 360 starts.

is it possible to change the xml file property to "read-only" after setting the value to 0?

This file must be writable by Fusion 360. And I don't know if setting the value to 0 is the solution.

 

We need an answer from the Autodesk team here.
