Code Generator adds machine-readable codes to your Autodesk® Fusion® designs as real geometry — sketches or solid bodies you can engrave, emboss, cut, or 3D print. Pick a code type, enter your data, set the size, and place it on any planar face or construction plane, with a live preview that updates as you work.

Supported codes

• AprilTag — tag16h5, tag25h9, tag36h10, tag36h11 (fiducial / robotics pose markers)
• ArUco — all standard OpenCV dictionaries, 4×4_50 through 7×7_1000
• QR Code (Model 2) — UTF-8 text, error-correction L/M/Q/H, automatic or fixed version 1–40
• Micro QR — versions M1–M4
• Code 128 and GS1-128 — automatic code-set switching and GS1 element-string validation
• PDF417 — configurable data columns and error-correction level

Output & control

• Sketch only, or solid body — extrude the Code, the Background, or both as separate bodies
• Set overall Tag size or Cell/Module size; add a quiet-zone Padding
• Works in millimeters or inches, following your document's units
• Place on a selected planar face or construction plane, or at the origin
• Optionally create a dedicated component; all operations are grouped on the timeline
• Live preview updates as you type, so you see the result before you commit

Typical uses

• Permanent serial numbers, part IDs, and lot/date codes on machined or printed parts
• AprilTag and ArUco fiducials for robotics, camera calibration, and motion capture
• QR codes that link to manuals, BOMs, or product pages, engraved directly into a model
• GS1-128 and PDF417 labels for packaging, logistics, and asset tracking

Built to be reliable

• Generation runs entirely on your computer and works offline
• No external dependencies, and no design data ever leaves your machine
• macOS and Windows (64-bit)
