Create / Renew Inventor Shared Views via iLogic or Custom Programming?

[petestrycharske]

All,

Good morning!  I have a client who is very interested in Shared Views within Inventor 2019, but unfortunately, the shared views completely disappear after they expire.  I confirmed that you can't even see them on the host Inventor side after that time.  I would like to know if there have been any new developments with iLogic that will allow users to create and renew shared views via code?  Or if the API is exposed enough to do with a custom program of some sort (forgive me, I'm NOT a programmer).  I found this post that makes it sound like this is not an option, but want to see if there's another way.  If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Hope all is well and have a most blessed day!

Peace,

Pete

@petestrycharske,

Unfortunately, Inventor API does not support for shared view. Please log this wish list at idea station using below link.

Hi @chandra.shekar.g 

Has there been any change/update on this in the past ~two years?

I have customer who could use this functionality prior to heading down the full Forge Design Automation route/costs.

Thanks,

Alex.

@AlexFielder,

The Shared View is an addin, and currently we don't have API exposed for it. You can post to IdeaStation for this requirement

Thanks and regards,

Any updates?
This would really be a useful function.
Now 4 years has gone since the first post - why can't this be implemented?

Thanks

I dont think Autodesk will release API for shareview so that you can make auto renew the expiration because the cost of file hosting will be increase.
