PointsOnPath

Autodesk Fusion 360 plugin for automatically placing points on vertexes with a set distance.

It can generate points at a desired distance. The distance between the points can be customized. The tool will warn you if the path length is not a good multiple of the points distance.

The intended purpose of this tool is to mark stitching points on sewing or leather patterns.

Installation

Download all files in this repo, place them in the %appdata%\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\API\Scripts (for example it might be C:\Users\Simone\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\API\Scripts\PointsOnPath), and restart Fusion 360.

In the top Fusion 360 toolbar select "Utilities", then under "Add-ins" choose "Scripts and add-ins", "Add-ins", "My add-ins", click the "+" button, find the script, add it, check "run on startup" and then click "run".

Usage

Select a vertex, open the Create menu and choose Points on path. Then you can specify a distance between points. If the vertex length is not a multiple of the desired distance, an error will be shown.

This project is to be considered experimental.
