The Addin is pretty great, simple and easy to use but the developer doesn't seen to be a professional developer as simple bug was left in the code. Still, pretty good work!

The fix is pretty simple for users and for the developer. Go to: "C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\AirfoilSketchFromFile.bundle\Contents\AirfoilSketchFromFile.py".

Open the file in a text editor, and then edit the file by simply erasing line 175, an 'else' statement and removing one tab form the 3 lines below it.

The code before loks like this:

 if originSP.x > originEP.x:                
                translationMatrix.translation = endPoint.asVector()
            else:                                
                filename = dlg.filename
                extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1][1:]
                csv = extension.casefold() == 'csv'

And after:

            if originSP.x > originEP.x:                
                translationMatrix.translation = endPoint.asVector()
                
            filename = dlg.filename
            extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1][1:]
            csv = extension.casefold() == 'csv'

Used it for a long time and it was ok. lately it stopped working.

I get the notification:

Works great with Airfoil Tools!

Works 50% of the time. You never know when after constructing a complicated construction line, if the airfoil will actually produce or cause an error. I get the same error as the review below me.

It would be really useful

I can install a single airfoil on a design, but when I go and try to ad a second it keeps giving me an error that really is of no help to me

I wish I could have this run on my Apple PC

I absolutely love this little add-in and have been using it extensively. Thank you very much Le Bear CNC for making it available, it's really nice. The only limitation is the directionality. If I draw a line from left to right versus right to left, everything changes. So for example, if I am in Fusion's "Left" view with Y pointing left and Z pointing up, I must draw my line going from +Y (right) to -Y (left). If I do the opposite, it gives me an incomprehensible error. This is not properly explained. I guess the workaround is to always have an airfoil sit in a separate component and then scale and assemble it where you actually want it with the proper incidence angle, dihedral, etc.

Using this tool significantly sped up my workflow. I am currently working on aerospace projects, and as a software engineer I appreciate a well-written tool. This tool does exactly what it says on the tin and in my experience it works without any bugs.

introuvable de fusion une fois insteller jai fais plusieur fois la manip mais rien alors qu'il fontionner très bien avant la mise ajour des fusion

MERCI !

I JUST HAVE TO SAY, THANK YOU. I tried so many ways, apps and finally found you. Thank God

When it works this tool is invaluable! Unfortunately it frequently errors and once it does it seems impossible to get it working again.

Bonjour,

Effectivement , l'application ne fonctionne plus et c'est vraiment dommage.

C'est regretable qu'elle disparaisse avec la dernière mise à jour. Si utile pour travailler sur les profils et elle rendait un fier service.

A souhaiter vivement que les développeurs puissent entendre notre SOS . . . .

This is a great tool, but it does not work with the latest Version of fusion360. I pay for my version of Fusion360 and it would be nice if it worked again...

Creating airfoils in Fusion360 is a lot easier with it! Thank you

Looks to do exactly what i want it to but does not work. Please update so it works with the most recent version of fusion.

Seit dem letzten Update geht die App nicht mehr 

This was working really well but now I don't get the pop up to select my .dat file after selecting the construction line and clicking on 'ok'

The version of Fusion 360 I am running is 2.0.9305

Thanks a lot, you have saved me a lot of time. great wrok!

Très beau boulot. Un modéliste reconnaissant ;)

many thanks for this App... Good work indeed... I have downloaded tre free tracfoil databank and linked it to the app... quick, easy, effective... 

Merci beaucoup

There are some problems with loading data points that are beyond the dimension (-1;-1) to (1;1). I found that it was best to stay within these limits.

If you need to import airfoil data to your Fusion design, this is the tool to use!
As intended, this add-in reads and imports any properly formatted airfoil DAT files as a spline to your sketch; Which is much more elegant and convenient than a series of lines segments.
The second great thing is that, it scales and aligns the airfoil to the selected construction line during the import. Which means that the airfoil comes at the right dimension and with the right angle (provided you selected a properly dimensioned construction line).
The only cons, is that as others mentionned, the airfoil is sometimes drawn inverted. (I guess it has something to do with the coordinates system when parsing). It takes no time to fix the sketch by mirroring the profile around the construction line. Maybe this can be fixed in a future version

Generates a flawed spline (contains curvature errors, etc) and seems to have chosen only a few of the points contained in the airfoil .dat files.  The files work with the other Fusion airfoil plugin. 

Simple and efficient. But same problem as Fabien. Sometimes the direction is not correct and I have no clue how to flip it.

Works great, simple and efficient.

Thanks!

We can't specify the direction of the airfoil. Sometimes it is right, other times the plugin is stubbornly stuck reversed, with the leading edge pointing aft :(

Please add a checkbox option to reverse the direction.

Here's a video that shows the bug https://youtu.be/DjMTnINHLK4" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/DjMTnINHLK4

Just work as promised. Needed to reinstall/repair it after F360 update...

This plugin does what it's supposed to and does it well!

Trés bien!

Clearly, ability to draw an airfoil on an existing sketch, first selecting the cord, allow to make a very precise wing, with proper angles where needed. 

A BIG plus!
