Load independent add-ins in more than one session of Autodesk Inventor

[KOKAK]

When I charge a second or third Inventor session to work with more than one project at a time, the Add-ins programmed by me and loaded in these new sessions, always work on the first session of Inventor.

What must be done so that the Add-ins of each Inventor session are independent and work each one with their corresponding Inventor session.

are you using this method:

 Public ReadOnly Property InventorApplication As Inventor.Application
            Get
                Return m_inventorApplication
            End Get
        End Property

        Public Sub Activate(ByVal addInSiteObject As Inventor.ApplicationAddInSite, ByVal firstTime As Boolean) Implements Inventor.ApplicationAddInServer.Activate

            ' This method is called by Inventor when it loads the AddIn.
            ' The AddInSiteObject provides access to the Inventor Application object.
            ' The FirstTime flag indicates if the AddIn is loaded for the first time.

            ' Initialize AddIn members.
            m_inventorApplication = addInSiteObject.Application

This part does not:

Public ReadOnly Property InventorApplication As Inventor.Application
            Get
                Return m_inventorApplication
            End Get
        End Property

Esta parte no

My conclusion is that my add-ons are loaded in memory and are linked in some way to the first Inventor session even if they are invoked from other subsequent sessions.

you should implement the missing lines..

Please upload your complete add in file.

Don't hesitate because you can leave all sub modules out for privacy reasons.

You also can send it by a private message!

Yes, these lines of code exist, but in this way:

Public ReadOnly Property Automation() As Object Implements Inventor.ApplicationAddInServer.Automation
            Get
                Return Nothing
            End Get
        End Property

I'm cleaning one of Addins of unnecessary code to upload it

Hello,

I had the same problem in the past. Your add-in needs to know which Inventor session has start it up.

In the StandardAddInServer check if you have this:

Public Module Globals
    ' Inventor application object.
    Public g_inventorApplication As Inventor.Application

In the 'Activate'  section you start with:

        Public Sub Activate(ByVal addInSiteObject As Inventor.ApplicationAddInSite, ByVal firstTime As Boolean) Implements Inventor.ApplicationAddInServer.Activate
            ' Initialize AddIn members.
            g_inventorApplication = addInSiteObject.Application

Then if you have a button for startup your program send the 'g_inventorApplication' in your arguments to start the form.

Dim Arguments() As Object = {CType(g_inventorApplication, Object)}

Now you can work in multiple Inventor sessions with the same add in.

That is what I tried also to explain, but with no succes.
You did it in more detail, think that it must be solved with this last comment of you.

Partially obtained

I have achieved this in the functions Sub and Function without form, passing them the argument g_inventorApplication.

However, I can not pass the argument to the forms.

My programs are done with VB.net

Thank you very much.

[KOKAK]

Could you tell me how to pass the parameter to the forms?

Thank you very much.

[bradeneuropeArthur]

you need to declare the application in the form like

dim y as new Form1
y.show(g_inventorApplication)

class Form1
new(X as inventor.application)
end Class

[KOKAK]

Finally it has worked for me in this way:

dim y as new Form1(g_inventorApplication)
y.show

class Form1
new(X as inventor.application)
end Class

Again thank you very much everyone. You have been really helpful.

And forgive my bad English again.
