Feature migrator 2021

[mat_hijs]

Does anyone know of a feature migrator that migrates assembly features to the affected parts that works on Inventor 2021? The one by coolorange works up until Inventor 2020, but they left a notice that they will not be updating this for Inventor 2021 and higher.

There's been a similar post you can find here ,the answer by @johnsonshiue should work (see also below).

Hi! There is a way to make it load on 2021. After the tool is installed, please go to the following folder and find "coolOrange.FeatureMigratorAddin.Inventor.addin"

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\coolOrange_featureMigrator.bundle\Contents\

Edit the file in Notepad and change the following value from 25 to 26. Save.

<SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>25..</SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>

After that, the add-in should load.

This worked, thanks a lot!

Hello everyone,

how about the same question made by @mat_hijs but for Inventor 2022? Is there a similar way to do it?

Thank you,

Francesco

I haven't tested this since I try to stay away from assembly features as much as I can, but have you tried changing this value 1 step further? So, make it 27?

Two changes are needed:

In C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\coolOrange_featureMigrator.bundle\PackageContents.xml line 6:

<RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="Inventor" SeriesMin="Ir21" SeriesMax="Ir27" />

In C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\coolOrange_featureMigrator.bundle\Contents\coolOrange.FeatureMigratorAddin.Inventor.addin line 12:

<SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>27..</SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>

I've set 27 to 28, because of upcoming next Inventor in 2022.

Hello @WHolzwarth,
