BernieC:

I've been meaning to check out Fusion 360, so I did a little looking around. You can find the API docs here, and while looking at the "Creating a Script or Add-In" page, I see that they support only C++ and Python in that section. I'd love it if Perl were also supported, but looking around doesn't show any significant Autodesk/Perl interactions. There are a few Q&As, but most are unanswered or references to using OLE automation.

If you're wanting to persue this, I'd suggest making a C++ or Python plugin that would communicate with Perl scripts to give you a convenient way to drive F360. If I understand correctly, corion's WWW::Mechanize::Chrome and WWW::Mechanize::Firefox do something like this (just going by an impression, I don't remember if I've used either of them.)
