Is it possible to create e. a 3d toolpath operations with e.g. surfaces as model input using the API? I looked through the documentation but cannot tell. I was going to get in there and try it by treating a (toolpath) Operation object a bit like an ExtrudeFeature object to see if I could get one to create, but I don't think I will have a second to spare any time soon to do that ๐ (I hardly know any python etc. to begin with so even just to try it with reliability would take me a long time) so I thought I would ask.
It seems to be implied that it is not possible from the cam section of the api documentation, but the implication is vague and from 2016 so I gotta ask.
No, this is not possible at this time, sorry...
Can I modify existing ones? Changing which surfaces they use as the model geometry, for instance.
Sorry, no. The API hasn't been forgotten or abandoned, it's just been put on a sideburner for a bit ๐
We do have an active effort that is underway to extend the API. Being able to create operations (from templates) and also setting geometry references are part of the expected enhancements.

Hi - It's possible today to create new operation(s) from a saved template. This is in the adsk.cam.Setup object: createFromTemplate.
It's not yet possible to set geometry references from the API, though this is in our roadmap to add. Can't give you a specific timeframe for that.
