Select Tools > Add-ins from the menu. Does the add-in appear in the list? If so, does it show as loaded?

What IV version? The help file Add-In sample program does not create any buttons or toolbars. Did you add code to do this? Could you post the code from the .cls file?

Did you have all sessions of Inventor completely closed when you registered the DLL after compiling? Even an Inventor.exe running in the background will stop the DLL register, check task manager. -- Paul Houlker Rimex Supply Ltd www.rimex.com "Calimesa" wrote in message news:41827287_2@newsprd01... > I followed exactly step-by-step showing in the program help.

Ok, I see this is from IV8. Is that the latest version you have on the machine? The toolbar setup uses the IV8 methods whch are no longer officially supported in IV9 (but should work). I have both 8 and 9 here and there seems to be an issue with the line: oEnvBase.PanelBarList.Add oCommandBar oCommandBar is a CommandBarBase object and the .Add method wants a CommandBar (should not be a problem but it fails with a Type Mismatch error). I'm not sure if having both versions is causing the problem. If you customize the UI, does the toolbar show up in the list. It does for me if I comment out the above line. You can them manually add it to the 2D sketch environment. Anyone else have any ideas? Neil

didn't that sample add a whole new panelbar? I remember looking at one of the new samples a while back and I couldn't find the toolbars right away, but then noticed a new item in the panel bar changer. I haven't really looked over the code posted, so hopefully it isn't too obvous that I am off -- Kent Keller Autodesk Discussion Forum Facilitator "Neil Munro" wrote in message news:4182c14d_3@newsprd01... > oEnvBase.PanelBarList.Add oCommandBar >

oEnvBase is set to the 2D Sketch environment so it should add it a command bar in the 2D sketch environment, but I can't get it to run here.

Replacing the line oEnvBase.PanelBarList.Add oCommandBar with oEnvBase.PanelBarList._Add oCommandBar should make it work. An underscore was added to the old Add method and hidden.

Samples seem hard to understand to the beginners. Do you have any simple (very simple) add-in I can start with Thanks.
