about sdk vb.net AddIns samples

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am tyring the PartFeaturesAddin example which is under the Inventor2012/sdk/developertools/samples/vb.net/addins.

I followed the readme and copied the *.addin & *.ddl to the right folder, but after restart Inventor, I can't see the addin loaded.

Just wondering if it will work on 64bit win7?

It seemed developed with vs2005. I am using VB express 2010. Could I re-compile it?

I am trying to figure out how to make one of my form for my addin.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Cean

It should work on Win7 x64 machine. As you said you can't see the addin loaded, can you double check that the .addin file have the correct content when you copy them from the Readme.txt? I just verified it here on Win7 x64 machine, it worked fine.

still not work.

here is my PartFeaturesAddin.addin file, Even tried to change it's name to Autodesk.PartFeaturesAddin.Inventor.addin. This is savd at c:\programdata/autodesk/inventor 2012/addins.

the dll is at c:\program files\autodesk\inventor 2012\bin

You can remove the begining spaces in the first line in the .addin file and try if it works now.
