Python and Inventor

[ivan.liu]

Hi, I would like to get started with using Python to control certain features within Inventor similiar to what can be done with iLogic/VBA. What is the best way to get started with this? I have combed through google and the autodesk inventor forums and haven't really found much documentation on Python and the Inventor API.

Thanks for any help.

Hello @ivan.liu,

Hoping that below forum discussion would be helpful to start Python programming with Inventor.

Before python coding, com enabling installer for windows (pywin32-221.win-amd64-py3.6.exe) can be downloaded from below link.

Hi, 

I am trying to use python to access and work Inventor. I am unable to open due to the following error. 

com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, None, None, None, 0, -2147024809), None)

I have installed the pywin32 and other modules. 

I am using Spyder IDE for coding

Can you kindly help me fix this error please?

Thanks
