Scripting Examples

The following demonstrates getting the physical properties of the assembly and printing to the console through scriptnig.

Usage

GetPhysicalProperties()

Parameters

none

List physical properties for model

# First open a 3D model to execute this script 
# Open the python.NET console panel 
import spinfirescript as sfs

sfs.SelectItem([])
propertiesData = sfs.GetPhysicalProperties()
print(propertiesData)
print(propertiesData.Message)

The following demonstrates selecting and rotating an assembly through scripting.

Usage

RotaeSelectedAssemblyItems(axis, degrees)

Parameters

axis: selectd the x, y, or z axis

degrees: amount to rotate in degrees

List physical properties for model

# First open a 3D model to execute this script  
import spinfirescript as sfs

for i in range(0,10):
	sfs.SelectItem([])
	sfs.RotateSelectedAssemblyItems(sfs.Axis.X, 30)
	sfs.RotateSelectedAssemblyItems(sfs.Axis.Y, 20)
	sfs.RotateSelectedAssemblyItems(sfs.Axis.Z, 45)
	sfs.ClearSelectedItems()

The following demonstrates creating 2D lines through scripting.

Usage

InsertLine(x-coord, y-coord, color, thickness)

Parameters

x-coord: starting x-coordinate.

y-coord: starting y-coordinate.

color: color as a string in the form "#AARRGGBB"

where AA is the alpha channel

RR is the red channel

GG is the green channel

BB is the blue channel

thickness: line thickness number > 0 

2D Line Example code

# First open a 2D workspace to execute this script
import spinfirescript as sfs
import random

for i in range(1,10):
	newColor = "#FF"+''.join([random.choice('0123456789ABCDEF') for j in range(6)])
	sfs.InsertLine([0, (i+(i*4))*-1], [50, (i+(i*4))*-1], "#FF000000", i)
	sfs.InsertLine([100, (i+(i*4))*-1], [150, (i+(i*4))*-1], newColor, i)

The following demonstrates creating a 3D polyline through scripting.

Usage:

InsertPolyline([x-coord 1, y-coord 1, z-coord 1], [x-coord 2, y-coord 2, z-coord 2], [x-coord n, y-coord n, z-coord n], color, thickness)

Parameters

x-coord: Starting x-coordinate.

y-coord: Starting y-coordinate.

z-coord: Starting z-coordinate.

color: color as a string in the form "#AARRGGBB",

thickness: lne thickness number > 0 

3D Polyline Example code

# First open a 3D workspace to execute this script
import spinfirescript as sfs

print(sfs.InsertPolyline([[00, 00, 00], [50, 50.5, -70], [100, 75, 83.7]], "#FFAA0000", 2))

The following demonstrates saving the workspace to an ACT3D file through scripting.

Usage:

ImportFile(filename path)

Parameters

filename path: filename path of the file to import.

Import a File Example code

# First open a 2D or 3D workspace to execute this script
import spinfirescript as sfs  

print(sfs.ImportFile("C:/temp/TestCube.CATPart"))

The following demonstrates saving the workspace to an ACT3D file through scripting.

Usage:

SaveFile(filename path)

Parameters

filename path: filename path of the ACT3D file.

Save ACT3D File Example code

# First open a 2D or 3D workspace to execute this script
import spinfirescript as sfs

print(sfs.SaveFile("c:/temp/new.ACT3D"))
