Hi all,
when I try to use the VIEWBASE command to create views from my 3D solids, I always get the message "inventor server failed to load" and the command stops. I am using AutoCAD 2014 with SP1 installed on windows 8 .
In a similar message in the 2010/2011/2012 discussion group:
http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-2010-2011-2012-DWG/viewbase/td-p/3316345
it is suggested to reinstall the software, but this is not working for me.
I have already tried to 'repair', 'reinstall' and completely remove all the software and then reinstalling it, but nothing seems to fix this problem.
Are there any other programs I need to have installed to get this command to work?
Does anyone have a solution to fix this problem?
Any ideas on where to look for the cause of this error?
Many thanks.

You are not alone in that. I am currently downloading Autodesk Inventor 2014 Service pack 1. I am running Building Design Suite Ultimate 2014 on Windows 8.1. but Inventor fails to launch, thats why I downloaded sp1 If it works...Oh well..
Hi,
I have the same problem.
BUT I fix it very simple. If you use win 8.1 - 64 bit
You must go at "Autodesk AutoCAD Services & Support" and "Updates & Service Packs", you can fiind this at: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/index?siteID=123112&id=2334435&linkID=9240618
After you must DOWNLOAD and REPLACE the file from "Model Documentation Hotfix for 64-bit Windows 8.1" that you can find at: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=22443084&linkID=9240618
You must make the steps from "read me" file.

Theo.
hi i have same problem but in autocad 2012 mechanical... where is no hotfix for that version.
i buy that program and its really sad to know that i cant fix it.. plz help
I think Viewbase was introduced in AutoCAD 2012, but you were locked to only being able to detail one object per drawing (i.e. fairly unusable). The Viewbase command has seen a lot of improvement since then. The most stable version so far has been in AutoCAD 2015, for what it's worth.
Hello.
I'm using Autocad 2013 and Window 8.1.
I have the same problem with others.
Command: VIEWBASE
Inventor Server failed to load.
I installed AutoCAD 2013 Service Pack 2, but it doesn't work for me.
Is there other service pack? Anybody can help me, please?
Thanks
😄 thank you veru much you helped me too 😄
😄 thank you very much you halped me too 😄
I currently have AutoCAD 2016 installed, operating on windows 7 64 bit system. I continuously get the following error when using the Viewbase function:
Command: _VIEWBASE
Inventor Server failed to load.
I can perform a full reinstall of AutoCAD and it temporarily fixes the problem. I have reinstalled the program over a dozen times to finish up a project. I haven't been able to identify what is corrupting the Inventor Server File (opening older files, inserting different file types, etc.) and it is getting really frustrating. I'm about to give up on the command and go back to flatshooting and creating viewports for everything.
I have seen fixes for previous versions of AutoCAD operating on Windows 8 but nothing for AC 2016. If anyone has any feedback, fixes, or advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
I was able to Google "Inventor Server failed to load" which brought me here and you answer solved my problem. Thanks for the link.!
Hello, I have the same problem several months ago, and Autodesk offers no solutions beyond -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD command!. The real solution is to format the entire hard disk and install ONLY Autocad, then install everything that is normally installed, MSOffice Photoshop, etc etc ... I personally find it a scam especially if the version for Mac was purchased. I am using Autocad a long time ago but I'm migrating to other solutions such as Microstation. Thanks to Autodesk solutions for useless as badgets and most beautiful icons. For years creep problems have not been willing to resolve, I was a beta tester, you know what I mean. It's amazing that after paying $ 5,000 even have to pay additional $ 40 third parties to edit multiple sheetsets.
same problem here! did u fin a solution? i have autocad 2016 windows 7 64bit. someone knows how to fix this problem??
Hi,
>> I have the same problem but using Auto Cad 2013 on windows 10
Windows 10 is not a supported os for AutoCAD 2013, but you may try the model-documentation hotfix >>>click<<<, also make sure you are up-to-date with your service packs for AutoCAD (hopefully you can install them on Windows 10, might result in troubles too).
