Apprentice Error "Method '~' of object '~' failed"

[Anonymous]

Hello Group,

Hopefully a simple question. I've searched the newsgroup and couldn't find an answer.

I've just started using Apprentice and run into what I hope is a simple fix. Using VB I've created an Inventor Add-in in which I hope to open an Assembly in Inventor, start the add-in which will then close the open assembly, rename it using Apprentice, and then open the new assembly in Inventor.

The code will work if I step thru it. However, if I create the dll and attempt to run the add-in in Inventor I get the following error:

Method '~' of object '~' failed

Any ideas? suggestions?

Is it possible to use Apprentice as an Inventor add-in?

It sounds like your dll is not registered properly. Here are some links to topics about that message http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Method+%27%7E%27+of+object+%27%7E%27+failed I still haven't been able to figure it out on my system... I don't get it trying to run a addin, but about 3/4 the time I start up VB6, I get that message. It doesn't seem to hurt anything but it is annoying. -- Kent Keller Autodesk Discussion Forum Facilitator "Miket" wrote in message news:19697426.1085150079386.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum1.autodesk.com... > Hello Group, > > Hopefully a simple question.

You will need to use the apprentice in an exe not a dll so it runs as a separate process to Inventor, which is why your add in is working in debug mode.

Glad someone is awake ;~) Apprentice and addin went in the eyes but got lost somewhere in that hollow space I call a head ;~)) -- Kent Keller Autodesk Discussion Forum Facilitator "gharrison" wrote in message news:13239685.1085157615895.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum1.autodesk.com... > Mike > > You will need to use the apprentice in an exe not a dll so it runs as a separate process to Inventor, which is why your add in is working in debug mode.
