Support for Drawings (f2d) files

[getgray]

Currently all my drawings are being skipped. Sample log:

Visiting file CasterMountBlockDrawing v1 . f2d
file CasterMountBlockDrawing has extension f2d which is not currently handled, skipping

Can you add f2d to the export please? Those are a PITA to create, be nice to have them backed up too.

I'm not familiar with f2d, how do I create one to test with? From a quick google, it looks like there are some possible issues exporting them but I can look

Andrew, the f2d files are the drawing files. They are linked to the original f3d files. You get to them via the Drawing environment (drop down from design). e.g.:

Thank you

Looked a bit and I don't know how to do this. Neither f2d or pdf there is an api for pdf export but can't get it to work

file: DataFile
if file.fileExtension == 'f2d':
    doc = ctx.app.documents.open(file)
    em: DrawingExportManager = doc.drawing.exportManager
    em.execute(em.createPDFExportOptions(str(ctx.folder / 'test.pdf')))

...
    em.execute(em.createPDFExportOptions(str(ctx.folder / 'test.pdf')))

Thanks for trying. I don't even see a way to do it manually. F360 limitation.

@getgray,

If you "View Details on Web" for the drawing, you have the option there to download a "Fusion Archive" file (as well as a DWG or PDF). The Fusion Archive will be an f3z file that's actually a ZIP archive containing the f2d file you want as well as the f3d file that it references; both files will be named with what appear to be their ID hashes within the archive, not their human-readable names.

I don't know what practical options there are for using either the f2d or f3z files once they've been downloaded.
