Hi,
In AutoCAD there are two types of API available as listed below ::
1. COM API
2 .NET API
So in Inventor are there any .NET API available ?
because the api named "Autodesk.Inventor.Interop.dll" is a COM API.
Inventor exposes a COM API. However, Microsoft provides utilities to create .Net wrappers over a COM API to allow the API to be used by .Net languages. This works very good and is what most people are using now to write add-ins for Inventor. The exception to this is those using C++ where it's still easier to use the COM API.
