Sketch lines with formulas

[tcooms]

Hi,

I wanted to know whether it is possible to define a formula or equation to describe a line or path as a sketch? 

Since Fusion makes use of a double axis plane, it would be really handy to use these formulas to design more exact.

I wanted to create a perfect parabola using the fomula y = x² within boundaries like for example x = [-10,10] and y = [-10,10]. That way I can create the exact path I want for a certain line. 

I also wanted to try it out for more complex formulas using y = a*exp(x) or y = x^n (n is a rational number) etc.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Ticho

@tcooms To my understanding not in sketch directly

but u could write an add on that based on the foruma makes that sketch

@cekuhnen is right. You cannot do that directly like in Blender.

But, you can achieve what you want, by inserting your formula into a Python script, if you know how to code. This way, you can create a plugin that creates the geometry that you want, where you want it.

If you need help with Python scripting, this is the forum for that: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-api-and-scripts/bd-p/22
