      <description>&lt;P&gt;This is a weird one.&amp;nbsp; I can't figure out what's going on here.&amp;nbsp; I can repeatedly cause this issue.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Has anyone run across an issue like this or know where to start looking?&amp;nbsp; This is very weird.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;With Inventor open, I unload both addins and uncheck "automatic load" for both.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;Close Inventor.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Open Inventor.&lt;BR /&gt;Load Assembly Bonus Tools.&amp;nbsp; Set it to load automatically.&lt;BR /&gt;I do not load my addin.&lt;BR /&gt;All is well.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Close Inventor.&amp;nbsp; Launch again.&lt;BR /&gt;Assembly Bonus Tools is working fine.&lt;BR /&gt;Load my addin.&lt;BR /&gt;Everything is working fine.&lt;BR /&gt;Set my addin to load automatically.&lt;BR /&gt;Close Inventor.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Launch Inventor.&lt;BR /&gt;Assembly Bonus Tools does not load its commands.&lt;BR /&gt;At this point I can manually load Assembly Bonus Tools without error.&lt;BR /&gt;The commands show on the Ribbon but they do not execute.&amp;nbsp; It's like the click never sends.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I expect that your addin and the "Assembly Bonus Tools" use the same GUID. Your GUID is the large string you find in your addin file between &amp;lt;ClassId&amp;gt;....&amp;lt;/ClassId&amp;gt;. You will also find the GUID in your "ApplicationAddInServer". ther you will find something like:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;LI-CODE lang="visual-basic"&gt;&amp;lt;GuidAttribute(".....-...-............"), ComVisible(True)&amp;gt;&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;just change them in bot locations. You need to use the same but something different from the "Assembly Bonus Tools"&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Well.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;When I rebuilt with a new GUID, everything worked &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@F982DDE76110C67DBDB6AF220B48480A/emoticons/1f604.png" alt=":grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:" title=":grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:" /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;But now it's to see whether or not it's related to the GUID or some other ghost in the code that a GUID-change just 'fixed'&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
