Hey, everyone. I've recently been using the JetBrains Rider IDE instead of Visual Studio to develop my Inventor plugins. I wanted to share some knowledge that I came across for using JetBrains Rider to debug iLogic rules.
In my opinion, the debugging experience is much more intuitive when using Jetbrains Rider than it is in Visual Studio. Here's how to set it up:
- Launch Rider and select the "Attach to Process" option on the projects dialogue. Choose your Inventor application. It may take a minute or two to load everything.
- By the way, this also gives you access to all public Inventor objects, so you can use it to find objects that aren't necessarily included in the Inventor API reference.
- Open Rider's Application Settings (CTRL+ALT+S) and uncheck "Enable external source debug" in Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger settings.
