I just upgraded from Inventor 2024 to 2025. I wrote an add-in and even though it's recommended to port it from .Net Framework to .Net 8 everything, so far, still seems to work without doing this. I'm curious about why it's necessary to port it. What possible issues could occur if I don't.
The reason for asking this is because I don't want to risk ruining something that works if there's no good reason to do so.
Hi @mat_hijs ,
I think you will be fine until you try to update your add-in.
Meaning if you wrote and compiled it in 2024 and the *.dll and *.addin files are loading and running in Inventor 2025 without issue, you're likely all good.
But if you need to update that add-in solution in Visual Studio, and recompile it, I think this is where you would need to migrate it.
Hope that helps,
Curtis
Hmmm, then I should probably just port it asap because I update it whenever I think of a new feature or find a bug. I know this is not the right place to ask, but I have my project uploaded to Github, do you happen to know how I should go about this to make sure I'll always be able to go back to the current version if I encounter a problem?
