Discord360 (Maintained Fork)

Discord Rich Presence add-in for Autodesk Fusion 360

This project is a maintained and updated fork of the original discord360 add-in by Seb Moore. Original repository: https://github.com/SebMoore/discord360

The goal of this fork is to bring the add-in up to date, improve reliability with current versions of Fusion 360 and Discord, and apply a few quality-of-life improvements.

Why this fork exists

While the original project laid a solid foundation, it no longer worked reliably in my testing with modern Fusion 360 and Discord builds. Rather than letting a useful idea fade away, this fork exists to:

• Restore compatibility with current Fusion 360 versions
• Improve startup and reconnection behavior
• Clean up and modernize parts of the codebase
• Add small refinements while keeping the original vision intact

Full credit goes to Seb Moore for the original concept and implementation.

Features

• Displays Fusion 360 activity as Discord Rich Presence
• Automatically starts with Fusion 360
• Lightweight and unobtrusive
• Built on top of pypresence for Discord IPC

Installation

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Create a folder named Discord360 inside your Fusion 360 add-ins directory (as described in the official Autodesk guide below)
3. Place all repository files inside that folder

Autodesk guide: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-install-an-ADD-IN-and-Script-in-Fusion-360.html

Expected folder structure

add-in path/
└── Discord360/
    ├── commands/
    ├── lib/
    ├── pypresence/
    ├── Discord360.manifest
    ├── Discord360.py
    └── config.py

Once installed, the add-in will automatically run when Fusion 360 starts.

Usage Notes

• Discord must be running before launching Fusion 360
• Minimizing Discord is fine — fully closing it is not
• If Discord is closed while Fusion 360 is running, Rich Presence will not automatically reconnect

---

Restarting the add-in (if Rich Presence doesn’t appear)

If Discord was started late or restarted, simply reload the add-in:

1. Open Utilities in the Fusion 360 navigation bar
2. Go to Add-Ins
3. Select Discord360
4. Click Stop, then Run

This will re-initialize the Discord connection.

This fork exists purely to keep a great idea usable on modern systems while respecting the original work.
