Applescript / external API support for Fusion 360 (please vote at Autodesk Ideastation so that we can support Nuimo) #15

Hi,

I posted an idea on the feedback page of Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is a very popular CAD/CAM application - also for makers.

Currently it only has an API for scripts that can be run manually and a limited set of hotkeys. That means that it is difficult to support Nuimo in a userfriendly way (since the Nuimo OSX application depends on hotkey or Applescript support).

Whether or not the idea will get attention from the Fusion360 developers depends on votes from users.

Please vote at http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideastation-request-a-feature-or/allow-external-calls-to-your-api-from-applescript-or-custom-key/idi-p/6418533 so that support for Nuimo can be added.

@larsblumberg maybe Senic can retweet the link to the idea so that Nuimo users can vote?

@wind-rider I don't have the app but I did find this list of shortcuts. I could write some applescripts that use the shortcuts if you want.

@larsblumberg thanks for retweeting, I also posted it to forum topics where this was discussed but not officially requested.

@ejwill those shortcuts are very limited: you can't define your own actions and you can't make them context-dependent. Also you can't use them to e.g. change a size of something with the wheel etc
