I have an add-in that I have used with Inventor for the last 10+ years. Now with Inventor 2024, I cannot get it to load (doesnt show up under Add-ins). I have looked at the .addin file, but I do not see anything there to keep it from loading.
Could I get someone to take a look at this and see if you could maybe get it to load in Inventor? When its installed, here are the files it loads.
Zip file attached.
Thanks,
Kirk
Hi @karthur1 ,
That has been a long time.
The same questions I have had e few months ago too for similar old add in.
It was easy to fix for at that moment with using this technique

I will have a look at it, but can you send the vb.net source project!?

I ran the Install exe, can't find where the files are installed.
Found it.
It installed to: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Macros\ADrawingResourcesNET
Copy or move "ADrawingResourcesNET" folder to %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins will load it after IV restart.

Wish I had the source, but unfortunately, I don't have it.
I did review the .addin file. Sometimes this will have a line that sets the maximum version, but this one does not have that.
Can you send the .dll file and the .addin file?
