PostLibrary.importPostConfiguration Method

Parent Object: PostLibrary
Defined in namespace "adsk::cam" and the header file is <Cam/Post/PostLibrary.h>

Description

Import a given post configuration at a specific location. The post configuration will be stored in the library. Throws an error, if the given URL is read-only.

Syntax

"postLibrary_var" is a variable referencing a PostLibrary object.

returnValue = postLibrary_var.importPostConfiguration(postConfig, destinationUrl, postName)
"postLibrary_var" is a variable referencing a PostLibrary object.

#include <Cam/Post/PostLibrary.h>

returnValue = postLibrary_var->importPostConfiguration(postConfig, destinationUrl, postName);
"postLibrary_var" is a variable referencing a PostLibrary object.

returnValue = postLibrary_var.importPostConfiguration(postConfig, destinationUrl, postName);

Return Value

Type Description
URL Returns the URL of the newly imported post configuration, or null if the import failed.

Parameters

Name Type Description
postConfig PostConfiguration The post configuration that should be imported.
destinationUrl URL The URL to the folder where to save the post configuration.
postName string The name of the post configuration that should be created due to the import. The name can be extended if the name already exists at given location to ensure a unique name.

Samples

Name Description
Basic Milling Workflow Sample

Demonstrates the creation of a basic milling workflow from a script: creating a setup, searching the tool library to retrieve a tool, creating machining operations and an NC program, and preparing them for post-processing.

Use the 2D Strategies model from the Fusion CAM Samples folder as your CAD model.

Manufacturing Workflow API Sample

Manufacturing Workflow API Sample. This sample script starts by creating a simple component, which is then used to describe a milling workflow. It creates a setup and a few operations, picks tools from a Fusion sample tool library using loops and queries, and post-processes the operations using an NC program.

Post Toolpaths API Sample

Demonstrates posting toolpaths in the active document using an NC program: import a post configuration from the post library, choose which setups or operations to include, set NC program and post parameters, and run NCProgram.postProcess.

Before running: Run from Scripts and Add-Ins with a design that contains at least one CAM setup with toolpaths. The script prompts for what to post (all setups, first setup, or first operation) and optionally opens the NC file when complete. It may offer to switch to the MANUFACTURE workspace.

Turning Workflow API Sample

Turning Workflow API Sample. This sample script starts by opening a simple component, which is then used to describe a basic turning workflow. It creates a setup and a few operations, picks tools from a Fusion sample tool library using loops and queries, and post-processes the operations using an NC program.
