Events viewer

[Anonymous]

• Where is Event viewer located in Inventor 2020, I am running Windows 10, user and dev tools are already installed but in see nothing related in sdk folder

[WCrihfield]

Was it an example AddIn provided by Autodesk in your previous install of Inventor?

Was it located in that SDK folder within your previous Inventor installation directory?

Or are you looking for a way to view events using either iLogic, or VBA?

I never used it in the previous version, I would have to check if it is in
the older versions sdk folder, just don't wanna run into compatibility
issues if I use the older event viewer with latest inventor version, but
yeah I would like to use it to listen to inventor events for ilogic/vb. I
have Visual studio community 2019 installed

I too have Vidual Studio Community 2019 installed. I got the User tools installed, but could never get the Dev Tools to install.  Every time I tried to install it, the installer kept saying it couldn't find Visial Studio, for some reason.

So, I can't direct you to the AddIn, but there are ways to work with events within the code environment.

I took the following screen shots of the drop down at the cursor within the iLogic Rule Editor screen.

 

You can experiment with these if you want.

I would like to know when those events happen though. Idk if I am making sense, like seeing some debug logs to know which event happens when I click something in the UI

I did't know there is (or used to be) an eventviewer from Autodesk. As part of an other project i made a very simple eventviewer. you can have a look at it:

(in the solution start the InventorEventTester)

Hi,

Is the folder there?

[Anonymous]

I don't even have the Tools folder inside the devtools folder

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Do you have these files:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2020\SDK\usertools.msi

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2020\SDK\developertools.msi

[Anonymous]

Yes I have them both, DevTools folder only has VBAddinTemplates and VCSAddinTemplates folders inside it

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Do you have the msi files from the pevious post?

[Anonymous]

Yes both files are there, there the ones I used for the installation

[bradeneuropeArthur]

I need to take a look tomorrow for the 2020 installation.

I will inform you then, ok?
