설명

ParametricText is an Autodesk Fusion® add-in for creating Text Parameters in sketches.

 

Text parameters can be pure text or use parameter values by using a special syntax. There is also a special parameter, that contains information about the document’s version and saves the date.

 

All parameters are stored within the document upon saving. The texts are always “rendered” in the sketches, so they can be viewed without having the add-in. However, to correctly update the values, the add-in is needed.

⭐ This add-in is free, but if you like it, please drop a review and tell us about your use case! Drop a review even if you don't like it. (The reviews will also provide feedback for future development)

You can also support me by buying me a coffee (Ko-fi link).

  • Exactly what I needed
    sam hoult | 9월 25, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Worked great once I got it in and followed the video. Exactly what I needed


  • Brilliant idea
    David Fenton | 9월 05, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Just what I needed for a project. Works exately as one would hope.

    Just to note that it didn't appear in Fusion until the app was restarted. No big deal, but in case anybody thought it didn't work!

    Nice job.


  • It just works - and it's perfect

    I'll be using this a lot...


  • Worked as intened

    Arthur Hazleden | 8월 21, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I am printing jigs, there's often some iteration to each design, then production with the jig, then several months of fighting other battles. By the time I get back to a printed jig I have zero idea what version it was.. manually writing dates sure but this extension.. sweeeeet.


  • Almost perfect!
    Nathan Autrique | 8월 05, 2024

    Add-in works for configurations perfectly, until you add your files as external components into an 'assembly'.
    There, it doesn't matter which configuration you switch to, it will always show you the last saved active configuration.

    So for example, I make 3 configurations: Co1, Co2, Co3 and put them together in 1 assembly file. Then I set each one to be a different configuration (Co1 for component1, Co2 for component2, Co3 for component3). It will still only show Co3 for each component.


  • Label text for configurations
    Robert Slazas | 7월 29, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I had a part with multiple configurations. To easily identify them, I extruded text on one of the faces with the configuration name. This add-in does this with no drama or coding.  Should be taken up as a standard feature in Fusion. Nice job creating this useful tool!


  • Wow - it'll even print out inch values as fractions!
    John Benoit | 7월 27, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Make a set of radius gauges - did 1 round in millimeters, and figured out that since everything was parameterized, I might as well make an imperial version as well.  And while I can recognize most of the decimal values for inch fractions, wouldn't it be nice to have the code have it use the fraction, if entered that way, directly?

    Hot digity dang - ParametricText supports it!


  • Made my day! Great for 3d printing variants!
    Goetz Sammet | 7월 18, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Great tool to keep track when printing different variants and then try which one fits best. Use this Addon and emboss the variable that differs in your variants (e.g. radius), it will be updated automatically when changing this parameter. Print 5 variants and never get confused again, when taking them off the print bed.


  • Exactly what I needed: easy
    Admins Acct | 7월 06, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Works and is easy to use. Thanks!


  • quite useful!
    Eric Forman | 6월 13, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Using it to auto-generate things like laser kerf test file based on "thickness" parameter.   @Thomas is there a way to do math within a text field? E.g. {thickness}+{2*tolerance

    Thomas A (게시자) | 7월 30, 2024

    Hi, that is not possible. You'll have to create a separate user parameter in Fusion (e.g. "spacing") and refer to it in ParamatricText ("{spacing}"). The "user language"/input method would really benefit from a full overhaul at some point, but, well, time...


  • Thank you
    Harrison Friedes | 6월 03, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Very cool plug-in, easy to use and works great. Thank you!


  • Great tool
    Jan Tulak | 5월 31, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    It works simply, but it does exactly what I need to emboss parameters of the model. And the model doesn't depend on the addon. Thank you!


  • mac os crashes?
    Andre Berk | 4월 22, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I really love the idea of this plugin - so thank you very much. Unfortunately on my mac it renders my fusion unusable. It will not start anymore once the plugin is installed. Have to remove it and use autodesk repair tool. Any ideas on this? Would love to give 5 stars but does not work.

    Thomas A (게시자) | 4월 22, 2024

    I don't have access to a Mac, so it is hard to troubleshoot. The code is exactly the same for Windows and Mac. Possibly, the Fusion diagnostic logs could give some info: Click ? -> Support and Diagnostics -> Diagnostic log files. You can share them to the e-mail thread created by Autodesk.


  • Very nice plugin
    Robert Jones | 4월 21, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I made a parametric calibration grid plate for coin magnets and it's so nice to have all the row and column labels update based on my diameter and depth starting parameters.

  • Crashes Fusion immediately
    Kevin O'Connell | 2월 25, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    As soon as I try to create a text element, the whole Fusion app crashes. Deleting the add-in immediately fixes the crash, so it's definitely the extension's fault. I'm on MacOS. 


  • Some tips:
    Andrew Goss | 2월 21, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Yes it should be a standard feature, and...

    My application needed embossed text on a 3d printed part.

    1. I found that placing the text on the z=0 plane and offsetting its base to the surface of the part and extruding 0.5mm as a separate component worked well.

    2. My part is one of seven pieces and I only wanted one text label turning visibility on/off worked well.All parts in the set had a label, only one piece was selected for emboseed label

    3. use app.fireCustomEvent('thomas_ParametriText_Ext_Update') when text changes are complete < adsk.doEvents() too ??? twice??? >

    Well done Thomas!

    Very happy with its function :) >


  • Sounds useful
    Petr Selič | 2월 20, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    This add-in is really usefull, is there an option for part number parameter? Or could you add it please? I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your work


  • Does exactly what i needed
    Anton Art | 1월 28, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Should be native feature!


  • Text from parameter values, Works great!
    Jason Greathouse | 1월 23, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

     Add text and link text content to a parameter. Perfect. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.


  • Nice app, does not update with confurations.
    Arjan Dijk | 1월 10, 2024 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Hi Thomas, I tried to use the addin with configurations by showing the text "price" big on screen. This price is changed when selecting other elements. Then addin only updates if you change the main configuration, but if you change something in the them tables, it does not update. If you want to know more, let me know

    Thomas A (게시자) | 1월 17, 2024

    Hi, as a hobby user I cannot access configurations. Would you mind showing some screenshots or a video of the problem? To see what events Fusion 360 provides to the add-in, please follow the steps in this comment: https://github.com/thomasa88/ParametricText/issues/56#issuecomment-1656566754 ( Jul 29, 2023). If possible, please post your info to that page as well.


  • Excellent tool for marking parts that have multiple versions
    Bas S | 12월 22, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    This should be standard functionality.
    Works great if you are specifically looking for something to label with versions or numbers.

    I would love to see some extra examples of best practices using this plugin, as there will probably be many more ways to use it.


  • Very god but still has a bug.
    Gilad Kapelushnik | 12월 17, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I use this allot, almost for every part as I tend to 3D print and having the version on the part maks it easy to track the chnages. There is still a bug that causes the size of the text to chnage randomly, usually to 20mm.

    Thomas A (게시자) | 1월 08, 2024

    Hi, please have a look at the following issue report to see if it can solve the problem: https://github.com/thomasa88/ParametricText/issues/29


  • Great
    Geran K. | 12월 11, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Very happy I found this AddIn. I'm wondering if there is a way to add "_.configuration"? I'm hoping to use each configuration's name as text.

    Thomas A (게시자) | 1월 08, 2024

    I have not yet seen a way to access the current configuration from an add-in.

    Thomas A (게시자) | 1월 17, 2024

    It looks like Fusion 360 will start supporting reading Configurations info soon (Jan-Feb). I have created this issue to track _.configuration progress: https://github.com/thomasa88/ParametricText/issues/58

    Thomas A (게시자) | 1월 21, 2024

    As I have the hobbyist edition, I cannot create configurations, but maybe I can open a document with configurations. Could you please try this: Create a new document, add at least 2 configurations and name them, File->Share File Link and then I can see if I can open the document and inspect it.


  • Absolutely amazing
    Troy Ostrander | 11월 04, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    So many options.

    I'm using the option to use a comment from my parameter table. The text will engrave part nubmers onto hundreds of pieces. Now the shop workers can easily find the pieces they're looking for!

  • Can't believe this isn't in-built already
    Alex C | 9월 30, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I've tried to search for this function in fusion 360, but im surprised it wasn't in built already.

    It works execellently, the fact that you can link text to function values is really conveint, I effectively wanted to write the box on a box, and the box is modular.
    I linked the text to the box size and now if i change the size of the box, the text updates as well.

    Really well made, initinally was a bit confusing until i watched the video and understood what i needed to do.

    If i'd give any suggestions, that would make it more natural, it would be to somehow make the new table pop out when you're writing text.
    As currently, unless you watch the video you'll never understand how to operate it.

    Aside from that it's really well made!


  • Found a "bug"
    Nicclas Oscarsson | 9월 25, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    been using your program from quite a while now and its lovely.

    But with last update, introducing Configuration table, i had som struggle with text following switching between configurations. 

    Found out you've made an update to fix this. but this update dosnt work in manufacturing tab. is it a quick fix? 

    In other words, everything works fine in design tab. but within manufacturing it wont  update parametric text when i switch config.  Thanks

    Thomas A (게시자) | 9월 26, 2023

    If things have not changed, I don't think I can use configurations in the hobby version of Fusion 360. So maybe you can help to troubleshoot by following the instructions I wrote Jul 29, to see if there is an event that the add-in can listen to: https://github.com/thomasa88/ParametricText/issues/56#issuecomment-1656566754


  • Got the hang of it and love it ..
    Kyle Kimsey | 9월 21, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Not sure why Fusion360 doesn't have something like this by default, but at least the community is here to save the day. I've been testing this with more customized Filament swatches so I can have the Brand/Type/Color/etc. on the model itself, no issues outside of quirks from F360.

    I did have to get used to using the comment block to get custom text, but that was just a training thing as it's a work-around for F360 not allowing text elsewhere.


  • A very useful add-in indeed - if you know how to use it
    Laust Nielsen | 9월 03, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    To be clear, I can totally use the add in as it is now - but my colleagues, who don't have a background in programming, do find it hard to wrap their heads around how to use it.

    Some improvements I hope to see in the future:

    • The ability to write the {} signs with the keyboard (I guess this is probably a limitation of the Fusion API)
    • The ability to insert {} at the current cursor position.
    • A textarea where you can just press enter for newline instead of having one long string with {_.newline} sprinkled in, for an even longer string.
    • A preview area that shows the result in realtime, so any mistake can be caught before pressing OK and leaving the dialog window. Or even better yet: having the result update in realtime in the actual sketch text

    Thomas A: thanks a bunch for this add in. I find it extremely useful and I am very grateful for your hard work. Any improvements from this point on is just a bonus. And I agree that this ought to be a vanilla feature of F360


  • Works Great

  • I like it a lot
    Christian Werner | 2월 18, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    A most useful plugin, potentially saves a lot of time and hassle! I use it to automatically engrave dimensions and version numbers onto my 3d prints  It's a pity that Autodesk didn't bother to implement parametric text feature. However, this plugin does the job really well and is probably more powerful than what Autodesk would have built.. It seemed a bit unintuitive at first, and I also forgot about that step again later, but once I found out/remembered that I just need to click the sketch text to have it replaced with the chosen expression, all is well.
    Thanks a lot Thomas!


  • So good, it should be a vanilla feature.
    C E | 2월 17, 2023 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    Works well once you watch the demo video. The grammar is easy to use and the examples on the "Change Text Params" window is a nice touch.

    I do a lot of 3D printed assemblies and having the version numbers, critical dimensions, and assmbly part# values on the geometry itself is invaluable in the field.

    Make this a default feature already, Autodesk!

    Have always wanted this ability but never thought to look at Add-Ins and today I did. Tried it on one very simple model that needed one marking driven by the key dimension, and it's done exactly what I wanted. Looking forward to making much more use of this - thank you!


  • Makes Version Tracking So Much Easier!
    Jeff Miller | 6월 20, 2022 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I do a lot of work designing 3D printed parts. Having the ability to  automatically embed version information (dimensions, etc) onto those parts is huge for us.

    In our project, we have multiple manufacturing processes, and we have to do a lot of "trial and error" testing. A 3D print gets used to make a mold which gets used to make a casting which gets fed into a CNC process, etc.

    To keep that all straight, we include version information on the surface of each print. But maintaining that by hand was an error-prone pain.

    This plugin is really helping to tighten up our process. Thank you!!!


  • Thank you!

    Rick Seiden | 2월 12, 2022 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I was building a sleeve for IC sockets, and wanted the number of pins to be embossed on the lid, so I wanted something that would take the parameter of the number of pins for the text to emboss.

    This does it quickly and easily.  I just had to figure out that the formatting of {pins:.0f} would get rid of the ".0" on the end.

     

    THANKS!

  • Brilliant!
    Mike Cameron | 12월 30, 2021 다운로드 확인 (이것은 무엇입니까?)

    I create objects for my 3D printers to test tolerances and things of that nature. I will often have text right on the side of an object so I can tell what a certain dimension is. This will save me a lot of time by not having to go into the sketch where the text is each time and change it. Not to mention, I would sometimes change the text, but forget to change the parameter. Now I can do it all from the parameters window. Game changer.

    Hi, thank you for reporting this. Believe it or not, I actually hit the exact same problem today. I'm planning to submit the next version in the coming days, but it might take 1-2 weeks due to the review process. However, if you want to, you can try the beta here: https://github.com/thomasa88/ParametricText/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beta.4 You will need to uninstall the version downloaded from here and then follow the instructions in the readme: https://github.com/thomasa88/ParametricText/blob/v1.1.0-beta.4/README.md If you don't uninstall the store version first, you will get errors when the beta and the released version tries to run at the same time.

    Thomas A (게시자) | 10월 13, 2020

    v1.1.0 with the unit fix is now published!
