Inventor symbol server (debug)

[Rene_Gerlach]

Is there any symbol server for Inventor, like AutoCAD ( http://symbols.autodesk.com/symbols)?

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Insert the symbols into an inventor drawing.
You can either use it as template or you make a reference as symbol library in inventor.

Depends on what version of inventor you use....

Hi @bradeneuropeArthur,

thanks for your answer, but I'm searching not for symbols for drawings.

I try to debug a crash and want to see the full call stack, to check if our addin is responsible for the crash.

So I need the debug symbols (pdb files) for Inventor.

Cheers

Hi.
Sorry I don't exactly understand what you try to do.
What symbols do you mean?

[Rene_Gerlach]

Hi @bradeneuropeArthur,

if you develop c++ or .net addins each generate for debugging purposes also a .pdb file, this will be called "symbol" file.

With this file you can debug the addin after compiling to a dll. These symbol files can have a full debug information or only function names.

I'm searching for the function names pdb for Inventor now. I try to find out why Inventor crashes and for this I want to analyze the call stack.

Cheers

Can't you find them in the bin- folder?

[Rene_Gerlach]

Unfortunately not.

For AutoCAD exists a symbol server. I hoped that this will also exists for Inventor.

[bradeneuropeArthur]

You can find the dll files there!
Maybe s full search with the file name for your system!

[Rene_Gerlach]

Hi @bradeneuropeArthur,

I'm not searching for the dll's. I'm searching for the corresponding pdb's.

And these are not in the installation, or do you have the pdb's in your bin folder?

Sample:

Inventor.exe -> Inventor.pdb

WpfHost.dll -> WpfHost.pdb

and so on...

Hello @Rene_Gerlach,

Unfortunately, Inventor will not provide any .pdb file at present.

Thanks and regards,

[Rene_Gerlach]

Hi @chandra.shekar.g

bad news.

Any plans to do so?

It would be easier to find some issues.

Hello @Rene_Gerlach,

Currently, crash report will be sent to engineering team and debugged to trace error.

You can suggest wish list at idea station using below link.

Hallo @chandra.shekar.g,

we have send so many crash reports, but nothing happen.

So we want analyze the issue self.

May be you can make an connection between us and the developers.

I will generate a wish on idea station.

Cheers
