Intro to API in Fusion 360 Part 7 - Creating a Script to Make a Sketch Profile
In this video we will continue to learn the Fusion 360 API using Python by creating a script that will make a 2020Aluminum extrusion profile that we can use for an extrude or sweep feature.
We will be covering the Object Model again as well as diving into some useful code like Arrays, For loops and If statements. The end result will be a script that will create a 2020 extrusion in a sketch currently being edited.
Here is the AL 2020 sketch used in the video. (note sometimes these don't work when they only contain sketches but you don't need it)
