Inventor 32bits and 64bits API

[FRPT1257]

It will possible run the same application addin in both Inventors 32bits and 64bits?

For example, if the addin is developend in 32bits it will work in Inventor 64bits plataform?

Or it will be necessary create and compile 2 different addins?

For example in Office 2013 it will be possible compile the addin for both platforms and use the same addin in both offices (32bits and 64bits).

Thanks & Regards,

Rui

If you use a .Net add-in then it's possible, because your add-in is compiled with "Any CPU" (by default), so it is compiled into machine code at runtime.

I am using a .Net add-in compiled with "Any CPU".

I have the Inventor 32bits installed. When I add references like "adwindows", "Autodesk.Inventor.Interop.dll" from my Inventor 32bits, the addin still supporting any cpu?

These dlls support any cpu?

Thanks & Regards,

That should not be a problem: for "Autodesk.Inventor.Interop.dll" definitely. For the adwindows.dll, set it to Copy Local = False. It will be loaded anyway by whatever version of Inventor your addin gets loaded into.
