How to link an add-in application with web-server?

[Anonymous]

I try to make an add-in for Fusion 360 where I could get a parametric assembly from web-server.  I made a try but there was an error which I have no idea how to make it solved. 
User has to click on add-in and then parametric assembly and palette should appear at the same time (custom palette is for choosing user's parameters). 
Here are the code and an error:

Hello,

I guess that the problem is in the next block of code:

            if palette:
                palette.deleteMe()

The deleteMe() method deletes the palette object but it doesn't clear the palette variable. So the condition "if not palette:" is false and the code goes to the line "palette.isVisible = True". But the palette object doesn't exist anymore. So the code crashes.

A solution could be to set the variable to None:

            if palette:
                palette.deleteMe()
                palette = None

But can you explain what you're trying to do?

Please use the "Insert/Edit code sample" tool ( </> icon in the toolbar) when you write your message.

Hi! We are trying to create an add-in application to design parametric assemblies (couplings). We want to get a parametric coupling assembly from web-server and put it into Fusion 360 active design (user has to choose desired parameters and then click on Build button).

We tried to use your method but we still have the same error.

Hi @Anonymous .

I'm not sure what 'index.html' is doing, but I modified it like this and the error was avoided.

・・・
class SampleCommandExecuteHandler(adsk.core.CommandEventHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
    def notify(self, args):
        try:
            # app = adsk.core.Application.get()
            # ui  = app.userInterface
            # Create and display the palette.
            palette = ui.palettes.itemById('myExport')
            # if palette:
            #     palette.deleteMe()
            if not palette:
                #make the [close] button invisible
                palette = ui.palettes.add('myExport', 'БИБЛИОТЕКА МУФТ', 'index.html', True, True, True, 400, 200)

                # Dock the palette to the right side of Fusion window.
                palette.dockingState = adsk.core.PaletteDockingStates.PaletteDockStateRight

            palette.isVisible = True

            url = "http://195.133.144.86:4200//Half-coupling1.f3d"
            occ = importComponentFromURL(url)

        except:
            ui.messageBox('Command executed failed: {}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
・・・

def importComponentFromURL(url) -> adsk.fusion.Occurrence:
・・・

    # import f3d
    app.executeTextCommand(u'Fusion.ImportComponent /NoMove {}'.format(dlFile))
    # app.executeTextCommand(u'NuCommands.CommitCmd')
・・・
def stop(context):
    # ui = None
    try:
        ui.messageBox('Stop addin')
・・・

We have also fixed the strange scope of 'ui'.
