Get detailed info about a named body or sketch

Axis-aligned bounding box for a body or component by name. Returns min, max, size, and center in cm (Fusion internal units). For components, unions bounding boxes of all contained bodies. Useful for measuring imported reference geometry.

Sweep a sketch profile along a path (sketch curve)

Loft between two or more sketch profiles

Draw a regular polygon in the most recent sketch

Draw an arc in the most recent sketch (center + start point + sweep angle)

List all components in the design

Export a body or component as a STEP file

Export the design as a native Fusion 360 archive (.f3d)

Render canonical orthographic + isometric views as PNGs and emit a self-contained HTML sheet suitable for sharing with a mechanical engineer. Opens in any browser; Print -> Save as PDF for a static artifact. Restores the viewport camera after rendering.

Unified export wrapper — dispatches to export_stl / export_step / export_f3d based on format or file extension. Format is auto-detected from file_path extension if not specified. STL and STEP require body_name; F3D exports the whole design.

Import a mesh file (STL, OBJ, or 3MF) as a mesh body. Returns the mesh name and bounding box. Use for reference geometry (e.g. exported SketchUp model).

List all user parameters in the design

Create a new user parameter

Update the value of an existing user parameter

Remove a user parameter

Add a geometric constraint in the active sketch. Entities are referenced by index within the sketch.

Automatically add geometric constraints and dimensions to fully constrain a sketch (Fusion 2026+ AutoConstrain API). result_option: 1 = thorough/slow (default), 2 = fast, 3 = may move geometry within tolerance.

Add a driving dimension to constrain sketch geometry. Value is in cm for distances, degrees for angles.

Create a construction plane for sketching

Create a construction axis

Create a UCS at (x, y, z) with optional rotation (Fusion 2026+ UCS API, preview). A hidden reference sketch is created to anchor the UCS — do not delete it.

Draw a spline in the most recent sketch. Use fit_points for a curve through points, or control_points for a control-polygon spline.

Offset connected sketch curves by a distance. Direction is determined by the direction_point.

Trim a sketch curve at its intersections. The segment nearest to the given point is removed.

Extend a sketch curve to the nearest intersection. The end nearest to the given point is extended.

Add threads to a cylindrical face (cosmetic or modeled)

Add a draft angle to faces of a body (for mold release / injection molding)

Split a body using a plane or face

Split faces of a body using a plane

Push/pull faces of a body by a distance

Scale a body uniformly or non-uniformly

Create a box primitive (non-parametric via TemporaryBRepManager)

Create a history-based rectangular box via sketch rectangle + extrude (unlike create_box which uses TemporaryBRepManager). length/width/height accept a number (cm, Fusion internal unit) or a string expression referencing User Parameters (e.g. 'boxL', '56 mm', 'outer - 2 * wall_t'). Call create_parameter first to define named parameters.

Create a cylinder primitive (non-parametric via TemporaryBRepManager)

Create a sphere primitive (non-parametric via TemporaryBRepManager)

Create a torus primitive (non-parametric via TemporaryBRepManager)

Create a joint from components' current positions (easier than geometric joints)

Lock multiple components together

Measure minimum distance between two entities

Measure angle between two entities

Get mass, volume, surface area, center of mass, and density of a body

Cut a section plane through the model

Detect collisions between components/bodies

Compare two mesh bodies and return deviation statistics (min/max/mean/RMS signed distance in cm) — e.g. validate an imported STL against a reference mesh. Requires Fusion 2026+.

Assign a material appearance to a body, face, or component from the Fusion appearance library

Assign a flat RGB color to a body (creates/reuses a design-local appearance). Useful for visually distinguishing parts before render_view.

Project edges or bodies onto the active sketch plane

Suppress (disable) a feature in the timeline

Unsuppress (re-enable) a feature in the timeline

Create a patch surface from boundary edges

Stitch surface bodies into a single body

Thicken a surface body into a solid

Create a ruled surface from an edge or sketch curve

Trim a surface body with another body

Create a sheet metal flange on an edge

Add a bend to a sheet metal body

Create a flat pattern from a sheet metal body

Unfold specific bends in a sheet metal body

Create a manufacturing setup for a body. Defines the stock, coordinate system, and operation type (milling/turning/cutting).

Add a machining operation to a setup. Strategy determines the toolpath type.

Generate toolpaths for a specific operation or all operations in a setup

Post-process toolpaths to generate NC code (G-code)

List all manufacturing setups in the document

List operations within a setup

Get details about a specific operation (strategy, tool, parameters, toolpath status)

Health check — returns immediately without touching Fusion API

Check if the design is in parametric or direct mode. Use this to detect accidental mode switches.

Switch design type between 'parametric' and 'direct'. Use 'parametric' to recover from accidental direct-mode switches (equivalent to Capture Design History in the UI).

Capture the active viewport as a PNG so you can visually verify the model. Pass a canonical view (iso/front/top/etc.) to reposition the camera first, or 'current' to keep it as is. Returns base64-encoded image bytes alongside metadata; the MCP server delivers it as an image content block.

Start a raytraced render; poll get_render_status. Jobs die if Fusion exits. Use render_view for previews.

Poll photorealistic render jobs. Omit job_id for all jobs. Set include_image=true to get the finished PNG base64-encoded so you can visually verify the result.

Adjust render brightness. Unsupported settings are reported.

Create a native drawing from a cloud-saved Design. EXPERIMENTAL preview API; may time out while succeeding. Never blind-retry.

Look up official Autodesk API docs and report preview status. Examples: Rendering, DrawingManager.createDrawing.
