[solved] Basics question. returning f-string doesn't execute.

[llll]

Returning the string formats it, and does not execute the line.
Copying it into console shows its correct string.

How to execute the string after formatting?

Code: Select all

name = "Untitled"
offset =  '3.427079'
obj = 'Extrude'

def changeY():
    return(f"App.getDocument('{name}').getObject('{obj}').setExpression('.Placement.Base.y', u'50 - {offset}')")
changeY()
App.activeDocument().recompute(None,True,True)

Try Gui.doCommand(string)

Ehen call change() it will return the string.

You have to tell python interpreter that you wantbto execute things.

Probably there are other way than the Gui... but python is simply executing what you are telling it to do.
