Developer Tools Missing

Anonymous — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 17:26:25 GMT

I recently tried to access some of the examples for Inventor Apprentice and I found that the SDK folder on my local machine was empty except for an htmtl file.

I've searched the network where the Inventor files are stored and I can't find anything there either.

I've been running apprentice through a few Excel macros so I know it's there, but I would like to run programs like "Event Watcher" and the like.

Is there a place where I can download the .msi that are supposed to be in the SDK folder?

what's in the html file in that location? I recall finding some sort of note in a previous version where the tools were usually located...the note (can't remember the file type now) had information within it stating where the tools could be found.

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor \SDK just what the OP was looking for.

I was able to find it. i was looking in the wrong drive. It was stored in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2015\SDK and I was looking in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2015\SDK.

I will now cover my face in shame.

Thanks for the responses.
