Post to output obj with mtl file

[johnXXA7N]

Thank you guys for the last bits of info, it really helped.  I have made considerable progress on it.  I am stuck on something I can’t seem to find an answer for.  I see in camplete and a couple other post processors, the ability to use the post processor as a cascading post outputting multiple files and the formats for those outputs, however those are written to output stl files.  I’m currently looking to output OBJ with mtl files to our hmi program.  If anyone could point me to a reference I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi @johnXXA7N 

to export these data's, the post engine provides some API functions.

The description of the whole API can be found here:

If we look secifically at the tool and holder functions, we can notice these ones:

So, we have the choice between a 2d picture exported as SVG vector graphic.

And the mesh that is saved as an STL file.

We don't have parameters, or functions to convert to other formats.

STL or SVG are the only standard options in the interaction between the post engine and Fusion.

You can try to find a third party tool to convert the files to OBJ.

Thank you very much for the reply.  You saved me a bunch of looking around for an answer that doesn't exist, and i took your advice and found a CLI i can call to do it automatically.
