plugin for inventor 2005

[johnteng00]

Hi guys

I need your help. I have a plugin developed based on 2008, and now I have a inventor Series 10 (released in 2005). Is it possible to use this plugin? What can I do?

thanks

Hi John,

This is very unlikely that you can use the same plug-in on 2005 release. That would depend of value set in the registry for the supported software version. You could try to locate the addin entry in the registry (under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) and check the value of the key "SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan" and make sure it points less than 10.

However if the addin is using any API that was introduced between 2005 and 2008, it won't work.

The best thing to do would be to recompile the addin against the 2005 API, supposing you have the source code.
