Hey, guys. Just thought I'd share something I came up with for my team. We work a lot with the Inventor API, and are constantly struggling to figure out how to access built-in Inventor objects, as there is no good documentation of them.
I came up with a database that I am using to document all kinds of objects that we are working with for easy reference. This includes the object names and some basic code snippets, both in VB and C#. Note that it is easy to convert VB.NET to VBA, so I didn't include code samples in VBA.
Some of the objects that are currently documented, or in the works are:
- Ribbons (get / add tab)
- Ribbon Tabs (get / add panel)
- Ribbon Tab Panels (get / add control)
- ControlDefinitions (get, useful for "clicking" buttons with code if the object is not available to the API)
- iProperties (get/set)
- More (you tell me what would be helpful)
I hope you all find this useful! Please comment if you have any questions or see any issues.
