Samples

Name Description
Marking Menu API Sample Demonstrates how to customize marking menu and context menu. This sample is an add-in. To use it, create a new add-in using the "Scrips and Add-Ins" command. Use any name you would like for the add-in. In the folder where the add-in was created edit the add-in name.py file and replace it's entire contents with the sample code below. You can also delete all the other files that were created for the add-in except for add-in name.manifiest. Start the add-in from the "Scripts and Add-Ins" dialog. Now, with the add-in running, whenever you right-click in the Fusion window, you'll get an entirely customized context menu. The default marking menu has been modified by the add-in by removing the existing commands and adding some custom commands.
