Usability Improvements (auto-link breaking and renaming) #14

Closed blubbi321 closed 5 years ago

Hey there!

Thanks a lot for your script, it is incredibly useful to me!

Just two remarks to speed up the workflow:

  1. As all references of the components need to be broken this costs a lot of time when reexporting arms. As far as I can see breaking the links from Python should be simple enough? (https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-7f7547c0-702d-11e7-8712-6c0b84aa5a3f)
  2. The requirement for "no spaces in component names" could probably also be automated away? It also eats up a lot of time removing all these v123 from names like "xxxx v123"

I'll pick up this issue myself if I happen to get more time for OS work in the future, for now Im just dumping my ideas here, sorry for that!

Thanks for your feedback!

Sorry that there are still a lot of problems. I can't make time now, but I'll try to fix the problem as soon as possible. Next time I'll work on your idea, refactoring and supporting nested components, etc.

blubbi321 commented 5 years ago

Uh, supporting nested components would be even better :D

Thank you so much Syuntoku for taking the time out of your day to do this. You are so awesome :)

I fixed the second problem, but the first problem is remaining Reexporting is necessary to move the relative origins of the links to the world origin.
