Quick focus tool in zospy?

[BildIngenieur]

Hello,

Is there a way to use the quick focus tool in zospy?
I came across this for optimization: #72 but when I try to use the same approach for quick focus it fails at the step quickFocus = oss.Tools.OpenQuickFocus() with the error AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'Tools'.

Hi @BildIngenieur,

I can't check if oss.Tools.OpenQuickFocus() works, but it should as far as I know.

Based on your question, I assume the error happens before. In your code, oss seems to be a Boolean rather than an OpticStudioSystem instance.

My guess is that you are using one of the the legacy methods to initiate the connection (zos.connect_as_extension(), zos.create_new_application() or zos.connect_as_standalone()). These methods have been deprecated since version 1.2.0. If you are indeed using one of these, the preffered option is to change to zos.connect() as the legacy methods will be removed in the future.

Does that solve your issue? If not, can you paste a code snippet of how you initiate the connection as well as provide your version of ZOSPy?
