Is it possible to create toolpath operations using the API?

[anthony.a.douglas]

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 😞 (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...

[anthony.a.douglas]

Can I modify existing ones? Changing which surfaces they use as the model geometry, for instance.

[seth.madore]

Sorry, no. The API hasn't been forgotten or abandoned, it's just been put on a sideburner for a bit 😞

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.

Is there a schedule when this feature will be available?

[jeff.pek]

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.

I think it might be available now. Check the document that maps the API.
It said show it, if it is up to date.
