Inventor API Web Site?

Any reason why this web site is not being kept up-to-date? The latest
revision was March 2000. Is there an alternative resource?

http://www.autodesk.com/inventorapi/Website/HTML/index.htm

Thanks,

Isn't most of what is at that site in the Help file? Brian did post a new API Object
Hierarchy in customer files a while back.

You might search customer files for a few good things from Brian Ekins.

Other than that I hope the reason it isn't kept up to date is they are working to hard on
adding functionality to it. 8^)

The intent has been to get rid of this web site and deliver all of the
information with Inventor. I need to follow-up and make sure the web site
is killed. We're looking at other potential mechanisms for updating
documentation and samples between releases too, but that's still to be
determined.

Perhaps an updated CHM file could be made available on PointA or somewhere
else which would make sense. Then all we would need to do is download new
ones. Better still would be to put in an update mechanism into the CHM file.
This way as you create new and improved help files, we would get them almost
automatically and all Autodesk would need to do is post it.

Hmm, what/where is this "customer files" you are referring to? A newsgroup,
a place somewhere
inside AND/pointA etc?

Duh^2, couldn't find the API Object Hierarchy there, maybe because that
posting had already expired (?). Could someone repost that?

Also, you can find the latest upto information (on the latest object model,
etc.) now on the currently maintained developer center for Inventor
developers
www.autodesk.com/developinventor

Hope this helps.
