I am attempting to build my own add-ins that will replace VBA modules written within Inventor. Unfortunately, there appears to be no "Addins" folder located anywhere on my directory. I have tried making my own "Addins" folder in the locations dicdated by Autodesk:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2012\Addins
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor Addins
I build my add-in, specifiy the .dll location, place my .addin file in the created folder, open up Inventor, and then open the Add-Ins manager but my add-in does not appear in the list
Am I missing something critical? Is there anyway to tell the Add-Ins manager where to look for the custom built .addin files I create?
Thanks for your time in helping me out with this.
IV 2012 was the first version to support registry free add-ins but if I recall correctly it was buggy at best. IV2013 was really the first release to properly support them. There is good information in the developer help for 2012 but I think you might be better off to use the registry approach for that version.
