AutoCAD Inventor :: 2013 Addin Icons Displays Too Large
Oct 3, 2012
I 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.
object LookupIcon = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.Support.IconToIPicture( InvAddIn.Properties.Resources.Lookup_Icon);

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.
Using IV2014 Pro SP1 update 1, Win7-64bit

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.

I am producing an 10 x 5 foot trade show display for a client. Even though the image they chose is relatively large (18.7" x 12.5" at 300 dpi), when scaled up it will be about 64 dpi at final size.
I've read that such displays typically use 75-100 dpi images. Where do you find ultra high res stock images? The one we are using is from Istockphoto.

I 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]

We are experiencing a problem that inventor goes none responsive when closing large assemblies. Typically the problems occurs on assemblies with typrical over 3000 parts. The only way to get out is to manual crash the program.
Our machines are some of the powerful machines that you purchase on the market with SATA III solid state drives so the problem is not with the machines.
Wish we never upgrade from 2012, Autodesk should be embarrassed with the performance of 2013

Basically, every icon in the toolbox has a large empty space to the right of it. The occurs both in single window view and in modal view.
When I resize the toolbox the icons keep this right space around them, always re-positioning so that most of the icons are not included in the toolbox.
The only way I can see all the tools is to reduce the width of the toolbox to one icon, then they all line up vertically. But I have having it set up like this, and even then the last few are cut off by the bottom of the screen.
I have gone through all the settings menus and can't seem to find anything about it. I removed GIMP with the --purge option and reinstalled; this fixed it for a day, now it's right back to where it was.

I installed X6 tonight and I'm now having trouble with my Extra Large Icons in Windows Explorer. When I switch to extra large icons the first few show up correctly (CDR, JPG, GIF, etc.) but most of the rest of the GIFs and JPGs show as Corel icons. I can refresh, reload, and they still stay Corel icons. The only way to get the preview thumbnails again is to switch back to large or medium icons and then refresh. But if I switch back to extra large icons I get the same thing again. What's particularly odd is that all the Corel file formats preview correctly as extra large icons, but only a few of the GIFs and JPGs do. I have already removed and reinstalled X6 and the Corel Windows Shell Extension.
If you run the Icon size slider up, the preview thumbnails for the GIFs and JPGs change to Corel Photopaint icons as soon as you go above large icon size.
I have Win7 Pro running on an Intel i7-3820 and have updated Corel to the X6.2.
Also, I do not have any icon viewer applications installed.
I browsed around a bit and didn't see this particular problem listed.

I designed our compny logo by draing a design and including text using AutoCAD 2013. I kept everything in black and it cam out great. I used concemptual and was able to print the logo in PDF and PNG in high resoultion with the black color. I recently had to unistall and re-install my software, but now when I open up our logo, the font color is gray instead of black. This is the same for the model space, viewport, and print-outs. All of the views are the same as before, as well adn the set color to black.

How to call a addin from vba ? The addin is existing, source code not available :-(
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

Below 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 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.

I have an addin which displays a form, then when I click a button operations are launched. The form is no modal, so I display it, select objects, apply, select objects, apply,... then close the form with another button (form.close).
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.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80030002): could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030002 (STG_E_FILENOTFOUND))

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.

I 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

Using Inventor 2014 and Vault Basic 2014. It was working this morning but now when Invnetor is opened it automatically logs into Vault and says it is successful but the open from vault icon is greyed out. Similarly when opening a drawing from the vault it used to automatically run and open inventor but now seems to lack the connection. Even when manually opening a drawing that is in the vault by downloading it from the browser and then opening in inventor there is no Vault tab on the browser and all Vault commands except "log out" are greyed out. I think it has something to do with the add-in as well as the Vault group.

We create a greate deal of DLL add ins for Inventor using Microsoft VB.NET. The code security is very important to us. I hear certain program such " Lutz Roeder's Reflector " can reverse engineer the DLL assemblies and get the actual code from it. This would cause concern when we deploy the DLL to various users.
So, is it true that DLL from VB.NET (or C# and C++) is so vulnerable from reverse engineering? if yes, what is any practice to add security to it?

I have an issue where an addin loads once the first time Inventor is opened. If the addin is unloaded and reloaded via the Addins dialog and no documents are open it loads once. If the addin is reloaded while a file is open is reloads twice.
I came to the conclusion it is loading multiple times because the it seems to go through the Activation method of the addin twice. When is the Activation method called during loading an addin?
Inventor Addins
FlowTools for Inventor
ilxButton Panel (Buttons for iLogic Rules)

I cannot debug an addin for Inventor 2012 from Visual Studio 2010 professional on Win7 64.
I started with a new “Autodesk Inventor Addin” project
Set debug “Start external program” to inventor
Added a form and called it from StandardAddInServer.Activate sub
IF I debug from here inventor starts but form does not open. Addin not loaded.
Move *.addin file to Inventor addins
Now when running debug, form opens but breakpoints do not work. VS reports no errors on build.

After upgrading from 2013 to 2014 we have a few drawings that had profiles created in 2013 and now when we open the drawing in 2014 the profile view disappears and so we regen and then we get a fatal error. I ran an audit and there are no errors, I re-sycronized the surfaces, i also ran an audit on all the xreferences.
