fusion_schematic show fails on a showcase schematic that is open

John Lauer · 1mo ago ·closed by John Lauer

Found while recording forum demo clips on arav-rog (1.11.9), 2026-10-04.

Steps:

  1. fusion_make_showcase_project {libraryPath:"C:/Users/arav/Downloads/Adom_ToF.lbr", name:"ToF-showcase"} then poll to stage: done (schematicDocument ToF-showcase-sch, boardDocument ToF-showcase-brd).
  2. fusion_schematic {action:"show", documentName:"ToF-showcase-sch"}

Result: Switch to schematic failed: 3 : Please open or create an electronics design to continue.

The schematic tab WAS open (the recording shows it). fusion_show_2d_board {documentName:"ToF-showcase-brd"} and fusion_show_3d_board worked right after. Likely the schematic show path does not resolve a showcase document opened via newDesignFromLocal (no EcadDesign container) the way the board verbs do.

Expected: switch to the named schematic tab, or a clear error naming the tab it could not find.

Fixed in 1.11.10 (insiders). fusion_schematic {action:"show"} now goes through the same document-picking path as fusion_show_schematic, so documentName is honored. Verified on arav-rog: from the 3D board tab, fusion_schematic {action:"show", documentName:"ToF-showcase-sch"} lands on ToF-showcase-sch in the Schematic Editor.
