I am a new python user. It's very interesting. I've only been testing it for one month. I have been practicing and using Freecad for a few years. I mainly use a 2D cad and manage my client’s Aras PDM system.

I have been able to create a wide variety of components with python code. Now I have run into an unresolved problem. I copied the Python code from the python console and modified it to fit. The code creates a new file, a template, retrieves the cross section of the dxf file and creates a face from it.

The face should then be turned to the correct position and extruded. This will be a problem. The code doesn't go right at once, but if I export lines 1-60 and then lines 61-100 to the python console, it works.

What am I doing wrong?

PS. My client has hundreds or thousands of these dxf clip files undergoing an extrusion operation.
