Add-ins HyperMill

[waynerobbo]

Hi Everyone

I'm hoping someone could advise/help with an issue I have. A work colleague and myself have recently installed some CAM software, Open Mind HyperMill. it's to be used inside Inventor. My colleague can see the program when he opens Inventor, its displayed in the Taskbar alongside Fusion. He's using Inventor 2024.

I am using 2025  and HyperMill doesn't display in my taskbar. I can see HyperMill in the Add-ins Page. Load behavior is set to Automatically, but its unloaded. I can change the settings manually to load, but it doesn't appear, then defaults back to unloaded. 

I have contacted Open Mind (HyperMill), but I've not heard anything back yet. 

Any help or advice would be massively appreciated.

Hi

Did you receive a guarantee from the manufacturer that the product is compatible with your version of Inventor?

Hi there

hyperMill is a Autodesk certified App 2025

Thanks

I think @kacper.suchomski is right.  Take a look at the hyperMILL for Inventor page on OpenMind's website:

https://www.openmind-tech.com/en-us/cam/cad-integrations/autodesk-inventor/

Inventor 2025 add-ins need recompiling on Microsoft .Net 8 - so an add-in for Inventor 2024 almost certainly won't work in Inventor 2025.

Sorry it this is a repeat post (3rd try!) - last two replies 'vanished'!

On the Openmind website, the latest version says 2024:

Add-ins compiled for Inventor 2024 almost certainly don't work in Inventor 2025 because they use different versions of .Net framework.

Hi Peter

Thanks for this. I'll reinstall 2024

Cheers
