Fusion 360: JavaScript API is being fully retired

By Sajith Subramanian

The end of support for the JavaScript API was announced a couple of years ago.

However, so far any scripts or add-ins that were written using the JavaScript API have continued to run.

Please note that this is set to change, and as of the December release of Fusion 360 they will no longer run at all.

Any script or add-in using the JavaScript API will need to be migrated to either Python or C++.

Please find the official announcement here:

Notice: JavaScript API is being fully retired

Boston Forge Accelerator

The Forge team is accepting proposals for the upcoming Accelerator taking place in the Autodesk Boston office from April 30 - May 4, 2018.

It is a great opportunity for your software development team to learn and work intensively on a Forge-based project with one-on-one support and advice from Autodesk Forge API experts.  If you have an idea for a new web or mobile application based on Autodesk Forge APIs, or you need help getting an existing application working, then come along to the event. There is no cost to attend the Accelerator other than your own travel and living expenses. However, we do ask that you submit a proposal as part of your application so that we can verify that the intended use of the Autodesk Forge APIs in your project is feasible.

Apply and submit your proposal here. For more information, please visit the Forge Accelerator website.
