Attribute Helper for Inventor 2012

Anonymous — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:09:43 GMT

Hello everybody,

Brian Ekins (Mod The Machine) has written great utility Attribute Helper for Inventor 2011 and last for 2013 and late.

I want to use it in Inventor 2012, I have tried to modify the 2011 version, that time the source was included but with no success.

Does anyone have Attribute Helper for Inventor version 2012 and also the source?

Thanks In Advance,

Marco

Hi Marco,

The 2011 version seems to work with my Inventor 2013 as well - it's under the Add-In's Ribbon tab.

So I don't see why it would not work with 2012 too. :-s

Could you please double-check with the AddIn's Manager if it is loaded?

Cheers,

Hi Adam,

Yes, but if you want to change the attribute name nothing happens and sometime the add-in give an exception.

Hi Marco,

Actually the Inventor 2013 version of the AddIn should probably work with Inventor 2012 as well - you would just need to modify the *.addin file of the project to enable it for Inventor 2012.

Anyway, I got the files from Brian and have uploaded them to our github account.

Hi Adam,

Thank you and also Brian (How is he doing?) for helping me.

Actually the Inventor 2013 version of the AddIn is not working with Inventor 2012 version because is compiled in .Net Framework 4.0, and if I’m right Inventor 2012 AddIns only working with .Net Framework 3.5?

I have compiled it in the .Net Framework 3.5 and now it is working.

Cheers,

Hi Marco,

You're welcome. I'm glad it's working for you.

Yep, forgot about the .NET version change.

Brian's enjoying his sabbatical at the moment. 🙂
Thanks for asking.

Cheers,
