It was noticed that Nifty Attributes (a kind of descendant of Attribute Helper*) by @BrianEkins can not be used after updating Autodesk Inventor from 2023.2 to 2023.3 (after pressing Add-In's ribbon button the Add-In's window shows for just a moment and then closes by itself).

Part of SDK-UserTools.
UPDATE:
Nifty Attributes works fine in Inventor 2024.

That is why you cannot load it twice!

You mean that Inventor 2023 has some built-in Add-in to work with attributes ... which is not present in 2024 (see UPDATE in the 1st message of this thread)?

@bradeneuropeArthur can you show me where you see it? If you are talking about the ability to assign attributes already in the inventory, then this is not the same thing
@johnsonshiue see this looks like bug 2023.3 update

I believe you have it present because you've installed SDK-UserTools* (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2023\SDK\UserTools.MSI), right?
But the main question is: whether It works as expected after installing Update 2023.3 ? (for me it doesn't - the same problem - it's window closes by itself half-second after I press the button to show it).

That's how I can get it.

This does not install the add-in if i am right. this only unpack the vb.net projects.
Did not install that. I still think it comes shipped with inventor.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the 2023.3 updates, but I will concur that it does not work as it shows a quick flash of the dialog and then is gone. I don't have any other add-ins that do not work and that is good because I find this post when I am past the 50% mark of updating about 160 clients tonight.

FYI, Brian have fixed this problem in version 3.2 (I've checked and confirm this):
BTW, 'Nifty Attributes' can now be loaded simultaneously with Attribute helper:
... yet 'Attribute Helper' is useless (obsolete) for actual Inventor releases.
