The icon dispayed on the ribbon for my addin seems to be the large (32x32) icon and i'm not sure how to fix that.
In IV2012 it was fine and i can't find anything in the programming that suggests anything was changed.

Just installed inventor 2013 and the icon to launch vault is missing from the ribbon where it used to be in v 2012. Also when i try to open a file the quick link to vault is not there. i have installed vault basic 2013 and it opens up fine and my files are in it. Do i have to create a link?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an addin which has an icon for a button. In Inventor 2012 it displays fine. In Inventor 2013 the icon appears to be enlarged by about 4x, and only the top left corner of the icon is visible. The api clearly states that Inventor will scale the image to size.
This is the C# code I'm using to load the icon. The icon is in my resources file.

I was getting this error on one of my users machines, inventor 2013 vault add in could not find the data management services
I uninstall Vault workgroup 2013, Inventor 2013, re install, and re install add ins, worked for half a day, and just got the same error again,
it seems As Inventor looses the add in, what was intersiting it gave an error about some unerlaying error after disgarding that, the add in doesnt work anymore.
I also cant copy design from vault on the same machine, all Inventor related files cant be copied, but dwg files can.
I get the feeling its an Inventor issue, my last resort is a clean install.
Can I disable ribbon in 2013?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a VB .NET Dll that add a new ribbon in AUTOCAD.When I load this dll from AUTOCAD, this new ribbon is well added.I'm trying to start this dll with AUTOCAD Start.
I've tried to load the DLL from the acad.lsp but the DLL is loaded before AUTOCAD load the ribbon, then the dll is well loaded but my new ribbon is not displayed !.
I've just been messing about with the ribbon in Civil 3D 2013 and managed to create my own tab and add a panel with 3 rows. In one of them i have added the command BATTMAN. I've obviously added an icon and used button style 'Large with Text (Vertical)'.
I've noticed that on other buttons with longish names under them have wrapped text. How do i achieve this so say 'Block Attribute Manager' text would appear stacked under the button?
We just upgraded to 2013 software and anytime i change the ribbon to anything besides the default Inventor crashes.

They turn very dark. See the attached files.
It's important to us that white really shows as white.
am using Inventor 2013, and have always had the ribbon undocked and on my 2nd monitor along with the browser bar. However, after a reinstall onto a new PC, i have a glitch - on the Enviroments > Stress Analysis > Display panel, the Adjust Displacement Display drop down bar is unusuable - if i redock the ribbon, it behaves normally, but when undocked, i cant select it, and it seems to be corupt with the letters "ult" in front of the word Adjustable - i've attached a screen dump to show the docked (OK) and undocked (with the error at the bottom) -
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a Ribbon and Icon design for our software and I'm having some issues getting my icons to appear the same way they do in AutoCAD. When I hover over an icon on my custom Ribbon there is a white box around the icon (see Ribbon.jpg), but when I hover over an AutoCAD icon the white box does not appear (see Ribbonii.jpg).

Is it possible to have a custom grayed out icon in the ribbon when this icon has been used at least once? For example, the user clicks on this icon and it becomes gray to notify the user it has been used. The purpose is to load certain DLL with Netload only once.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an addin that needs to load when the autocad loads or when user type the command. It works fine with autocad 2012 but does not work with 2013. The addin dll is located in %appdata%autodeskApplicationPlugins. If I use Netload command to load the dll in 2013 and it works fine. But I need that addin to load either when user type the command or when autocad start up. I have checked the [URL]

My only idea is to somehow activate the button on the ribbon. Made a dump with the Print Ribbon routine from the online API help:
Tab: CDLIGHT, CDLIGHT.Part.Tab
Panel: iToolbox, CDLIGHT.iToolbox.Part.ToolBar
All of a sudden my ribbon panels will not pull off... some refer to this as 'tear off'. The interface is not locked either.
View 5 Replies View Relatedhow to load an addin without using the registry for Inventor 2012? Failing that, I just can't seem to get it to work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBelow is a link to a github repo that has a code example showing how to embed an IronPython engine inside a C# addin. It is the same as the "Simple AddIn" that comes with the SDK, only with the logic part of the addin factored out into IronPython. I could never find anything on using IronPython with Inventor so I'm posting this for any others that might be interested.
The main reason for doing this is to speed up development time. Edits related to the python code do not require the cycle of shutting down Inventor, compiling, restarting etc. More detail is in the readme. URL....
I followed exactly step-by-step showing in the program. After compile the DLL register the registry, run IV, I couldn't see the AddIn SampleToolbar in the Panel bar.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to make an Inventor AddIn with commands (functions) that can be called from other standalone applications. I have tried to create a COM interface for my AddIn, and that works with rather small effort, but I think I have heard that it should be possible to do this without the COM interface. I would like to avoid COM if possible. if I need to do anything special in the AddIn to make the function visible and how I on client side calls the function.

All functions, but only on the first opened file : I open the file, use the addin, close the form. I open another file, the addin is always loaded, but when I click on the icon to display the form nothing happens... I have to unload the addin and reload it.

I have an Addin with several pieces of functionality that I have been working on for over a year now and have had no problems with it loading. Yesterday I was working on a bug in a function and when I set a break point it was not breaking in the correct location. Possably some miss match between the source and .pdb files. I tried a clean build but still could not get the break point to be correctly aligned with my source code.
I tried to unregister and re-register the Addin with regasm but no luck. I then decided to search the registry for the name of my Addin and was supprized to find thousnads of registry entries. I then decided to clean my registry of all occurances of the Addin name. After removing all occurances of my Addin from the registry my Addin would not load.
I tried putting a message box in the first line of the Activate sub but it never executes. I made the assumption that it was a problem with the registry and changed the GUID value. When I did a rebuild I got the following error:
Error 1 The "UnregisterAssembly" task failed unexpectedly.

I ran the build again and did not get the error.This Addin is loaded on every CAD workstation in the company using an install program written with the Inno Setup Compiler. I installed the Addin using the installer and the Addin still will not load on my machine.
What is the best approch to debugging an Addin that will not load?When is it necessary to re-register your Addin using regasm?Is it possable that this problem is being caused a problem with the registry?I have read a number of posts regarding problems with Addin's not loading but have not found anything simmilar to this.
I've used vb.net to write two separate addins. I was wondering if there is a way to pass a variable from one addin to another similar to the way shared variables are passed from rule to rule in iLogic.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have having difficulty getting any addins to load at the moment and am totally stumped as to what the problem is. I have even created a very simple addin from the (C#) template, compiled and registered it and it still will not load up. I get the addin to appear in the Inventor Add-ins dialog ok but it will not load for some reason. I have tried generating various .Net versions 2.0, 3.0 & 3.5 all produce the same result. I have also tried to debug the add-in by getting Visual Studio to launch Inventor but it does not even appear to be loading the add-in. I have dug out some work I did months ago and tried that but it does not work either. Is there a log in Inventor?
I am using C# in Visual Studio 2008 Pro & Inventor 2011.
I am looking for any example to create an addin compatible between versions of inventor and also compatible win between 32 and 64bit.
Today I know create all separate. Thereby generating 4 different files.
Example:
Addin2013_32x.dll
Addin2013_64x.dll
Addin2014_32x.dll
Addin2014_64x.dll
