Hi ALl,

nice tool.

When I open a design and change something and hit the export button I get the error:

"No active document found"

Fusion 2.0.19983 MacOS 14.6.1

Hi @poudenes ,

can you please describe your workflow a bit more detailed. I ask, because in some scenarios the export process creates a new (and unsaved) document. This is done because sometimes Fusion creates duplicate entries, the export has to regroup objects etc. The API doesn't allow me to close this temporary document.

Regards Wilko

I already found out the issue. I always save my project local to my iMac. I don't store them in the cloud. Now I stored something in the cloud and it was working.

Would be create to export a project that's open in Fusion and export that one to different types. So you can open a F3D file. Edit it and export it with the other extensions you like (STL, 3MF, STP, F3D)

I'm not sure if I can do this, because I store the export configuration in the Fusion document. This allows the user to export a design again and again with the same properties. IIRC the API can only do this on saved documents. Your workflow is really an edge case, because Fusion is cloud based. But I check if I can make it work

I appreciate your try to make this work. I was also search for a tool that can do this. Like most converter tools. But there are none out there to do this task.
