Running the same prompt every time you open a new project? In this tip, we show you how to take a script you're already happy with and ask Autodesk Assistant to convert it into a reusable add-in — right in your Autodesk Fusion toolbar.
🤖 Autodesk Assistant is the AI-powered tool built into Autodesk Fusion that understands your design and responds to natural language prompts — from one-off automation experiments to production-ready tools you can use across every project.
Once your add-in lives in the toolbar, it's always available — no reprompting, no copy-pasting scripts between sessions. This CAD software workflow takes your manufacturing automation from experiment to reusable production tool:
⚙️ Ask Autodesk Assistant to convert any existing script into a toolbar add-in
⚙️ Test it across multiple projects and setups without rerunning the original prompt
⚙️ Iterate and improve — Josh demonstrates adding the stock-to-leave value directly into the toolpath name as new functionality
For CNC programming and manufacturing teams, this is how you stop reinventing the wheel. Build it once with Autodesk Assistant, refine it as your workflow evolves, and keep it on hand for every job.
