Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ugh. the good news is that I can write some clever xpath that makes this SVG-manipulation trivial
the bad news is that I'm having to use ElementTree, which has "limited support for XPath expressions", so NOPE! my xpath won't work
it has been zero days since I crashed fusion360
ooh it's repeatable. that's fun
currently engaging in crash-oriented programming. the docs are incomplete and unclear, so I'm trying different things and seeing if they crash, work, or give me an error
one part of the python API for Fusion 360 is undocumented and just assumes you recognize that it's backed by a certain C++ object and that you know how STL std::vector's work
well I can do it one way, which crashes, and another way, which silently does nothing.
quality software and/or documentation
well I searched the docs for the function that's failing, and got two result:
the lying docs
and a forum post from 4 months ago saying that the function may have a bug that makes it not work
no replies

★ Amy Star ★@foone I decided this year that I'd rather deal with the jank of literally any other CAD app than deal with Autodesk anymore
the second someone programs a KiCad<->Blender(+manufacturing mod) connector, it's pretty much over for Fusion360
