PowerTools Plus Project is an Autodesk Fusion add-in that connects your design projects to ClickUp, a cloud-based project management platform. Map any Fusion project to a ClickUp task list, open that list with a single click, and create or update ClickUp tasks without leaving the design environment.
| Command | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Set ClickUp Tokens | QAT › PowerTools Settings | Store your ClickUp and TinyURL API credentials |
| Map Project to ClickUp | QAT › PowerTools Settings | Link the active Fusion project to a ClickUp list |
| Open ClickUp | Design workspace › PowerTools panel | Open the mapped ClickUp list in your browser |
| Add ClickUp Task | Design workspace › PowerTools panel | Create a new ClickUp task from within Fusion |
| List Tasks | Design workspace › PowerTools panel | View tasks linked to the active document and the full project list |
| Update Tasks | Design workspace › PowerTools panel | Edit task name, due date, and priority for tasks linked to the active document |
- Download or clone this repository.
- In Autodesk Fusion, open the Scripts and Add-Ins dialog (keyboard shortcut:
Shift+S). - Select the Add-Ins tab, then select the + icon and browse to the repository folder.
- Select PowerTools-PlusProject and select Run.
The add-in loads the PowerTools panel into the Design workspace toolbar and adds a PowerTools Settings flyout to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT).
Complete these two steps before using the toolbar commands.
Run Set ClickUp Tokens from QAT › PowerTools Settings and enter your credentials:
- ClickUp API Token — Required for all commands that read or write ClickUp tasks. See Getting Started with the ClickUp API.
- TinyURL API Token — Required only when you use the Link Document to Task option in Add ClickUp Task. See TinyURL Developer API.
For each Fusion project you want to connect to ClickUp:
- Open any saved document that belongs to the project.
- Run Map Project to ClickUp from QAT › PowerTools Settings.
- Enter the ClickUp list URL and List ID for that project.
Repeat this step for each Fusion project you want to connect.
- Create a corresponding ClickUp list for each Fusion project you want to track.
- Run Map Project to ClickUp once per project to store the list URL and List ID.
- While working in Fusion, use Open ClickUp to jump directly to the task list in your browser.
- Use Add ClickUp Task to log new tasks. Optionally link the active Fusion document so teammates can open it directly from ClickUp.
- Use List Tasks to review all tasks linked to the active document or the full project list.
- Use Update Tasks to edit task name, due date, or priority without leaving Fusion.
The following diagram shows the high-level relationships between the add-in, Autodesk Fusion, the local cache, and the external services.
