To use RESTful services send a file in inventor plugin

[Anonymous]

Hello, Currently I have been working on creating an addin in the inventor ribbon tab, when we click the addin then it should export the STEP file of current part or assembly to its destination(to server/database) using RESTful services.

I have already created the Addin and coded the part to automate the conversion of part or assembly into STEP format, now I need to send it using REST services, I would appreciate any help, thank you!!

You should use the http library like you'd normally do on .NET. I assume you either are using C# or VB, there isn't much difference in an inventor addin, assume it like a windows app and derive your RESTful api from there

I was confused because of result I got, which indicated the use of APP inventor and Vault programing, thank you for your suggestion, if you have any relevant material for an example then it would be an great help. Thank you.

Unfortunately i don't have any restful examples with inventor addin to share. We do have however applications that are working with remote sql servers and the likes, so from our experience, i can definitely say that you can achieve what you want just by writing normal code as you do.

Just look for normal RestFUL examples and apply them to your code
