Detailed Description

I’d like to use the “Import from Onshape” feature from a Python script.
My goal is to iterate over the parameters defined in an Onshape model’s configuration table, import each configuration into Isaac Sim, and then save it as a flattened USD.

There is a link for follow up how to import own onshape documents.
But it doen’t work… empty link…

https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/extensions/latest/ext_onshape.html#isaac-onshape-importer-tutorials-importing

Using the Isaac Sim UI I can import a configuration easily, but I’m looking for a Python-based automation.
Is there any Python API or example showing how to:

• specify an Onshape document/assembly and select a configuration,

• run the Onshape importer from a script/headless environment, and

• programmatically save the imported stage as a flattened USD for each configuration?

Any sample scripts would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

What I’ve Tried

Tracking the extension of ‘omni.importer.onshape’… complex to me..

Additional Context

In short, I want to load every configuration (declared in the configuration table) of an Onshape 3D model into Isaac Sim and export a flattened USD for each configuration—all automatically.

You can automate this process by referencing the following key components under extscache/omni.importer.onshape*:

• OnshapeClient: Handles Onshape API authentication and communication.
• UsdGenerator: Converts Onshape assemblies to USD format, with support for outputting flattened USD files.
• OnshapeAssemblyModel: Manages assembly configurations and parameter tables from Onshape.
