What's the error? If you want the drawings like "102_final_model Drawing" to get downloaded, I think the "Export Non-design files" option is what you need

Sorry to hop on such an old thread, but since the OP didn't give any context on the error. My logs show:

{
  "folder": "~\\Desktop\\Fusion360Export",
  "formats": [
    "f3d",
    "step"
  ],
  "projects_folders": {
    "a.#": []
  },
  "unhide_all": true,
  "save_sketches": true,
  "num_versions": 0,
  "export_non_design_files": true
}

Some other stuff about successful files and then:

Visiting file filename.f2d
file filename has extension f2d attempting direct download
Traceback (most recent call last):

I replaced the personal info with filename, #, and ~ for the home directory, but that should still be legible. Seems to choke on .f2d files. In the documentation you specifically state that it only supports .f3d or exporting 'non-design files' and .f2d is not in that list, so this seems like expected behavior.

When an f2d file is open the regular dropdown for export is greyed out and instead an icon is added for export on the main Drawing bar (see attached).

Interesting, thanks for posting the error. So then maybe f2d can be exported to PDF by opening the drawing and using the exportManager docs similar to how it is for f3d (see here).

I mentioned in issue #33, but I will try to create a separate PR for both #31 and #33 this weekend. I think both can be resolved with minimal work, just adding a case to catch the .f2d and adding a checkbox for using the integrated file manager to choose the current folder for export. My background is mechanical engineering not a CS field, so I would appreciate some guidance if I make any mistakes. Would your preference be PRs against the dev branch?

As an aside, I really appreciate your work here, there is no way I would have been able to write a script this well, so having a starting place to make some modifications is invaluable. I have read most of the API documentation, but it is hard for my mind to interpret without a working script like this to simply modify a bit.

You didn't comment on #33 so it is probably worth asking if this or #33 are actually added functionality you would want to see in your script or if I should leave it in the fork. The small company I work for wants to use it for a specific use case and that is why I am spending some time on it, but I don't want to hijack this project if you feel the additions are not in line with what you were trying to achieve.

You are very welcome, glad it is useful.

PRs against the main branch, dev branch is a semi-rewrite that I never published

f2d support is a definite yes, current folder is a likely yes (commented on #33 to make sure I understand)
