Latest Apprentice dll

[NachoShaw]

Hi

Where can i find or download the latest InventorApprentice.dll? It doesnt seem to come with Inventor these days or if it does, i cant find it. I downloaded a version of InventorView and referenced the dll from there but ive got a bunch of warnings like this one-

Processing COM reference "InventorApprentice" from path "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2022\Bin\RxApprentice.tlb". At least one of the arguments for 'IRxFileSaveAs._WhereUsed' cannot be marshaled by the runtime marshaler. Such arguments will therefore be passed as a pointer and may require unsafe code to manipulate.

i figured it must be a version issue as i didnt have the warnings on 2019 but in 2021 using the same InventorApprentice reference i do.

im looking for 2021 & 2022

thanks

Does somebody know which file and path exactly needs to be added as a reference to visual studio to get access to the Apprentice component? I have installed Inventor View 2021 with Apprentice Server but Visual Studio does not add this as a reference e.g. "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor View 2021\Bin\Bin32\RxApprentice.tlb"

Hi Cornelius,

you need to reference the dll:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2021\Bin\Public Assemblies\Autodesk.Inventor.Interop.dll

Also, make sure that your "Target platform" is set to "x64" (In your build properties)

I created a small test/example application.

Hi Jelte, 

the dll I was searching for can be found here:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor View 2021\Bin\RxApprenticeInterop.dll"

You only need an installation of Inventor View(with Apprentice) to get the library.
