Hello Boys and Girls

 

I have been searching the web and I have not been able to find a good site that can help me create a basic Inventor 2015 addIn or dll.

Can someone please point me in a direction?

Hi Justin

 

Yes I have, but this is more focused on the exe approach

For a little more focus on Addins try this. It's a little more self taught but will get you started.

1. Install the SDK Developer tools. 

2. Read the Topic "API Overviews > Creatiing An Inventor Add-In" in the API help file.

3. Open the SimpleAddIn from the SDK samples. Review this program closely. Pay attention to the StandardAddInServer class as this is the entry point the Inventor API uses to connect to your Add-In. Finally read every topic in the help file that has anything to do with what you'd like to accomplish.
