Hey Guys, 

 

I've been working with our extensive suite of tools and .NET 6.0 that integrate into Inventor and haven't run into any issues outside of the now resolved late-binding work around. Inventor.Document type doesn't work for functions that could be run on an assembly OR part; it doesn't have "componentdefinition" defined for that variable type and errors out.

 

There were other issues with the way some stuff was coded around MS Office APIs for Outlook/Word/Excel that had to be fixed. One issue is that you have to embed the interops for Office (only) so it makes debugging painful as you can't edit and resume. Because of how much we integrate office with Inventor I probably wouldn't upgrade to .NET 6.0 given the choice again however we did eventually get it all working again.

 

The .NET 6.0 migration tool worked very well for my project.

 

Cheers,
