Apprentice server component not working on Inventor 2019

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I had a macro in vba Excel that worked fine with Inventor 2018 but now with the update to Inventor 2019, it seems that the module "Apprentice server" doesn't exists anymore (Run-time Error 'xxx-xxxxxxxx (8007007e)').

Here is my code (to change the workspace path of an existing design project): 

Dim oIV As New ApprenticeServerComponent
Dim oProjectMgr As DesignProjectManager
Dim oproject As DesignProject

Set oProjectMgr = oIV.DesignProjectManager
Set oproject = oProjectMgr.DesignProjects.AddExisting(*path of my design project*)

oproject.WorkspacePath = *path of my desired workspace*

Thank you for your help.

Regards, 

Mathias

Did you make the references to the interop correctly.

you need to use the inventor 2019 version of it stored under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Autodesk.Inventor.Interop\.....

Hello Bradeneurope, 

Thank you for your reply.

How can I be sure that the references to interop are correct? 

I found multiples dll files in the folder that you indicates but I don't know what to do with it.. 

Thanks

look at the version in the references!

This should be like this for you:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Autodesk.Inventor.Interop\v4.0_23.#.#.#__################\Autodesk.Inventor.Interop.dll.
