Inventor API and Insert Frame

Hi there

 

I am currently looking into the API for Inventor 2012 in order to try and automate a few processes that we do within our comapany.

 

What I am trying to do is access the functionality that the "Insert Frame" or Frame Generator function brings to Inventor by using the API. The basic functionality that I am looking for is to be able to draw a steel beam from Inventors library by using the API,  similar to the way the "Insert Frame" command handles it. Is this possible? I have looked into the API documentation but cannot find anything.

 

Thanks

Charl

Hi Carl,

 

Unfortunately FG does not expose any API, it is an Inventor add-in. I believe that it is implemented on top of the API, so everything it does is technically possible to achieve through the existing API, however it will require a good experience in several areas of the API and a fair piece of work to reproduce the same functionality.

 

I hope it helps.

 

Regards,

Philippe.
