Automating complex designs is one of the best ways to save time and money. iLogic is a great way to get started with automation, but it was never designed to handle the most complex cases of business logic. These cases are often best handled through the creation of add-ins. Making the leap over to creating add-ins for Inventor can be intimidating, join Application Engineer, Philip Cox as he covers:

-How to create a basic add-in for Inventor
-How to setup an add-in template file in Visual Studio
-How to transfer your add-in to Inventor

Hi, Thank you for this tutorial. But when I started my Visual Studio Project. Invertor shows up but I do not see my Add-In. Any suggestions?

[Dcassimatis]

it would seam a necessary 1st step to elaborate on the Visual Studio work loads that are needed before you get into the API

[FTFTFT]

Personally I countered an issue with the compatibility of Visual Studio 2020 and Inventor 2023. After Installing Visual Studio 2019 everything worked perfectly.

[spups]

Thank you Ketiv. I have a question. The DLL loads in inventor like expected on my pc where I created it using VB. But when i copy the files in the addin folder on my job pc, inventor dont even list it in addins. Is there something im missing?

[mohtasimmapkar]

Heyy!! First of all fantastic explaination.
I am trying to install developertools from SDK but it gives an error that there is no version of visual studio available.
Tried after installing VS 2017 as well as 2019 same error.
PS i am using Inventor 2017

[bakedecorate]

In my visual studio 2019 there is no zip file in project template how can I get it now

[Spelter]

Is there anyway to make a C# Addin and not VB? Edit: yeah I found it, they named it VCSInventor lol

[MotoGpFreeWorld]

How do we connect database from Visual studio in Inventor API?

[terryvandendungen]

You do need an Admin Cred to install the SDK
