Hi all,
I used the Inventor wizard to create a Visual Studio 2010 C++ Inventor 2013 addin project. It compiles fine. The issue is that after Inventor starts, although I do see my plugging appear in the list, when I check "load", and then close the window, and come back, it is still registered as unloaded. Unfortunately there is no error, or message to let me know what is going on. My assumption is that the addin did not get loaded properly.
Furthermore, when I set a break point in the "OnActivate" method, VS lets me know that, since the binary was not loaded, the BP will not get hit (predictably).
I experimented with a few things. By default the project is 32bit, and my version of Inventor 2013 is 64, so I setup a 64 bit config for the project, rebuilt, no luck. I also read on another forum that building for .NET 3.5 would solve the issue.... Did not help either. I was hoping someone had gone through something similar, and could point me toward how to fix this.
Here is my .addin file:
"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Addin Type="Standard">

Thank you.
