Visual Studio Express 2015 for windows 10 - Template - Inventor 2018

Hello

I can't see a form designer - is this the wrong version of Studio Express?

Regards

Hi,

Why don't you use Visual Studio Community 2019? (or 2017)

Anyway, if the template does not appear even if you have installed Inventor SDK, you should try to install the template manually.

And you have to move the extracted templates to the folder :

C:\Users\<User name>\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ProjectTemplates

I wasn't sure what would work with 2018 - think as long as it's the earlier .net it works? (just err'd on the side of caution)

Also concerned about the licensing - will try it.

Thanks

Hi,

I had created my add-ins for Inventor 2018 with Visual Studio Community 2017.

And I believe that Visual Studio Community 2019 can make a add-in for Inventor 2018.

For example, one of my add-ins Tiny Quick Property has been compiled with VS 2019 and it will work with Inventor 2018.
