This release takes a significant step toward that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Autodesk Assistant can now write and execute scripts against the Fusion&nbsp;API&nbsp; directly, inside your workflow, in response to plain-language requests.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s&nbsp;a bigger deal than it might sound, so&nbsp;let&#8217;s&nbsp;break down what it means.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Autodesk Assistant: Design Faster Than Ever Before\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/imfLK1yN4Ls?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen style=\"aspect-ratio:500 \/ 281;width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-changed-and-why-it-mattersnbsp\"><strong>What changed, and why it matters<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Until now, Assistant could only&nbsp;take action&nbsp;in Fusion where we had built a specific, dedicated tool for it. That meant its ability to&nbsp;<em>do<\/em>&nbsp;things was limited to a fixed set of operations&nbsp;we&#8217;d&nbsp;explicitly wired&nbsp;up&nbsp;which could be&nbsp;a real ceiling on what it could help with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Script Execute, that ceiling is&nbsp;largely gone. Instead of being constrained to a preset menu, Assistant can now act on&nbsp;almost anything&nbsp;in Fusion that has API coverage. It writes the logic, executes it, and the work gets&nbsp;done&nbsp; without&nbsp;you writing a line of code.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means tasks that used to require manual repetition, custom scripting, or just living with the tedium are now things you can simply ask for.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-this-looks-like-in-usenbsp\"><strong>What this looks like in use<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Say you want to apply a consistent appearance across all bodies in a\u00a0component. Or rename a batch of sketches to match their\u00a0parent\u00a0structure. Or make a targeted change across multiple parameters at once. These are exactly the kinds of tasks where the old Assistant might have hit a wall, and where this release changes the experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You describe what you want.&nbsp;Assistant&nbsp;figures out how to do it using the Fusion API. It runs. Done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-few-things-worth-knowingnbsp\"><strong>A few things worth knowing<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Coverage is tied to the API.<\/strong>\u00a0If a workflow\u00a0doesn&#8217;t\u00a0have Fusion API coverage,\u00a0Assistant\u00a0will hit that limit.\u00a0We&#8217;d\u00a0rather be upfront about that than have you\u00a0find\u00a0out the hard way. The good news is that API coverage in Fusion is substantial. This release makes that coverage directly accessible through conversation for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scripts are ephemeral by default.<\/strong>&nbsp;After execution, the code&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;stick around unless you ask for it. If you want to keep what Assistant built to reuse it,&nbsp;modify&nbsp;it, or turn it into an Add-In just&nbsp;by&nbsp;asking. Tell Assistant you want to see the code or that&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;building something for repeated use, and&nbsp;it&#8217;ll&nbsp;surface it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"if-you-tried-assistant-before-and-moved-onnbsp\"><strong>If you tried Assistant before and moved on<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>We know a lot of people took an early look and decided it\u00a0wasn&#8217;t\u00a0ready for their workflow yet.\u00a0That&#8217;s\u00a0fair,\u00a0and\u00a0the March capabilities had real limits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This release is different in ways that address the specific things that made it frustrating: limited coverage, slow execution on tasks that should be fast, too many situations where it simply couldn&#8217;t help. We&#8217;ve&nbsp;worked on all of that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;ask&nbsp;is simple: give it one more&nbsp;try. Pick something tedious \u2014 a task&nbsp;you&#8217;ve&nbsp;been doing manually because scripting it yourself wasn&#8217;t&nbsp;worth the effort \u2014 and just&nbsp;describe&nbsp;it to Assistant. See what happens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have feedback, use the thumbs up\/down in the Assistant panel. Our team reads it, and it drives what we prioritize next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autodesk Assistant now executes Fusion API scripts in your workflow, helping you automate repetitive tasks just by describing what you want.
