Inventor 2018 Add-Ins ribbon disappears since adding iPropWiz 6

I recently upgraded from Inventor 2016 to 2018. I reinstalled iPropWiz 6 (which I had working on 2016, no problems) and it sort-of worked for the first instance. The window appeared, but wasn't big enough and I couldn't resize it. I tried restarting Inventor, but this killed it.

 

Since then I've always had the same thing: Add-Ins ribbion completely blank. I tried repairing the iPropWiz install, to no avail. I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like now. I have no idea how to fix it.

Hello jason.adamson,

 

iPropWiz6 seems to be unsupported in Inventor 2018 unfortunately according to the APP Store.


It would be better that you would ask to "sales@c3mcad.com" but please try followings just in case.
*Right click on the ribbon > Reset Ribbon
*Tools > Add-Ins > iPropWiz > Loaded/Unloaded and Load Automatically
*Right click on the ribbon > Show Panel > iPropWiz

 

Thanks.

Ah ha!

 

Re-installed iPropWiz. It's in my Add-In Manager again (Tools>Add-Ins). Needed to set "Load Automatically" again, so now I've got it coming back up.

 

Still can't resize the window. But what I can do is dock it in the window, then make it wider. To dock it you need to grab the light-grey tab, not the dark grey bar at the top, then move it to the side of the window. Widening the window reveals the properties editor.

 

Seems odd I can't resize the window, or drag it by the dark-grey bit...
