Reg. .NET API in Autodesk Inventor

[Anonymous]

Hi,

In AutoCAD there are two types of API available as listed below ::

1. COM API

2 .NET API

So in  Inventor are there any .NET API available ?

because the api named "Autodesk.Inventor.Interop.dll" is a COM API.

Inventor exposes a COM API.  However, Microsoft provides utilities to create .Net wrappers over a COM API to allow the API to be used by .Net languages.  This works very good and is what most people are using now to write add-ins for Inventor.  The exception to this is those using C++ where it's still easier to use the COM API.
