Well, It might be coincidence, but I renewed our Autodesk licenses this morning, and I had to change my Product Collection into a Design Suite that we still had. But I only need Inventor, so...

A few months back @Anonymous had this code snippet for me, which worked beautifully, but now I get these errors:

Anyone could have a look what might be the problem? I use this rule daily, so it is kind of important to me. Many Thanks!

Imports System.IO
GetInput :

Six_Digit = InputBox("Enter 6 Digit number", "iLogic", 000000)

If Six_Digit = "" Then
	Return

MessageBox.Show("Input must be 6 digits", "ilogic")
GoTo GetInput

Hi,

the harcode path may be a problem

use the server name or IP address instea like "Serverxyz" or 10.0.0.x

Tip:

Put a few Messageboxes to take a look till where the code runs.

Please let me know at what line the code crashes.

Regards,
