Fusion - the Fusion 360 Bridge
Public Made by Adomby adom
Drive Autodesk Fusion 360 from the cloud via Adom Bridge: component libraries, IPC package generation, board layout, exports (STEP/Gerbers/BOM/CPL), fast APS cloud search, and parametric modeling.
showcase/test project: write the part name on the top silkscreen under each footprint
fusion_make_showcase_project (1.10.24) places the parts but leaves the top silkscreen blank, so a human reading the board cannot tell which sensor is which. John's rule (2026-09-20) for every board the tools make: the part's name on the silkscreen under its footprint.
Done by hand today on tof-8x8-sensors-showcase-brd with fusion_electron_run:
GRID MM 1; LAYER 21; CHANGE SIZE 1; CHANGE RATIO 12; CHANGE ALIGN CENTER; TEXT VL53L5CX (7.44 9.6); ... ; GRID INCH 0.1; WINDOW FIT;
Two things learned: the showcase board's grid is inches, so a bare CHANGE SIZE 1 + TEXT ... (x y) lands a 1-inch label an order of magnitude off the board (undo x3 and prefix GRID MM); and TEXT with an inline string and coordinates is non-interactive (no dialog, fusion_state dialogs: []).
Asks:
fusion_make_showcase_project/fusion_make_test_project: put<text layer="21" size="1" align="center">with the deviceset (or MPN) name under each element in the generated .brd; optionsilkLabels: falseto turn it off.- Add
TEXT string (x y)to the fusion-eagle-commands skill's verified list with the GRID MM note.
