Add-On Resources

[[De...]]

Hi, I was wondering if I could import a .gelement/.zelement /.gxml as an add-on resource, then import that resource into my project (clipboard).


I tried reading https://zeissiqs.github.io/zeiss-inspect-addon-api/2023/howtos/python_api_introduction/using_script_resources.html

but I'm not having much luck...




Any advice?

Hi,

import_gom_inspection_exchange needs a regular file name, neither a file handle nor a resource object works instead.

You can use the following workaround:

import gom
import tempfile
import os
	
# Copy the resource to a regular (temporary) file
with gom.Resource('Points.gxml').open() as gxml_file, tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) as temp_file:
	data = gxml_file.read()
	temp_file.write(data)

# Import from temporary file
gom.script.sys.import_gom_inspection_exchange (files = [temp_file.name], import_mode = 'clipboard')

# Remove temporary file
try:
	os.remove(temp_file.name)
except:
	pass

Best regards,
