Feature Index of Inventor .NET Addin Wizard 2015

The Inventor .NET Addin Wizard 2015 that was recently released is in fact the Professional 2.x major version. Issues will be fixed and features enhanced in the near future in minor builds for free update, in case you have already purchased an authorization code.

Index:

#  Introduction

#  Installation

#  INAW2015.vsix

#  Toolbars and UIs

#  Project Wizards

#  Item Wizards

#  Coders

#  Widgets

#  Download/Purchase

Tips:

• Please Run the MSI Installer As Administrator.
• Please Start Visual Studio As Administrator.
• In case the toolbars of Inventor .NET Addin Wizard 2015 still don't show up in any editions of Visual Studio 2015/2013/2012, please run the INAW2015.vsix file directly from the installation folder, which is by default as "C:\Program Files (x86)\InventorNetAddinWizardPRO".
• If the operating system is Windows 10, please following the steps as listed in VSIX Installations on Windows 10 to run the INAW2015.vsix.
• In case the authorization code cannot be properly written, please start the Visual Studio as Administrator and try again.
• In case any features do not behave as expected, please start the Visual Studio as Administrator and try again.
• In case the project creation is intercepted by some other extension such as NuGet accidentally thus some weird behavior appears such as the .NET Framework being targeted as Universal Windows or something like that in the resultant project, please uninstall/disable the other extension and try our wizards again.
• In case of some other issues or comments, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Installed the MSI as an adminstrator.

Running VS 2012 as an administrator

Entered the key in the proper location while in VS 2012.

Restarted VS 2012, and am not seeing any new project wizards from Spidernet.

Return to the "about" button and it's still asking for the code.

Any helpful advice?

Thanks.

Hi Mike, sorry for the inconvenience. From our previous conversations, we got that you had successfully installed and played around the Inventor .NET Addin Wizard Pro. The only step left was to get the license key. Yes, the key needed to be copied and pasted into the input box that can be popped up from the About dialog of the INAWPro toolbar (of either widgets or coders). Just in case, if not yet, please try the latest build from our own web site:

Nope, never able to get the add-in running, was told that the add-in had to be purchased to view all of the features.

Thusly, I purchased the add-in to view all of the features and was still not able to view all of the features.

Using the latest version downloaded from the website.

Mike, sorry for not getting it earlier. A detailed reply has been sent back to you through email. The key point is that the latest post will address the VSIX deployment issue.

My incompetence is only surpassed by my stupidity. I was finally able to get the wizard installed and registered. Doing a quick test and I'm getting the following message.

Message 1 The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file:

InventorButton --- The base class 'Object' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built. 0 0

Visual Studio Pro 2012
Inventor Pro 2014

Thanks again for all the assistance.

Mike, no worries. Glad to hear the wizard could be installed and registered well now. In terms of the particular issue, we need some detailed steps and better with some screenshots to trouble shoot. Regards.

[MIKEJONESPE]

We will do a screen recording of the process and the error and upload to Youtube.

[Spiderinnet2]

Mike, thanks. Look forward to it.

Link to the error message in context. Rebuilt and project, no error messages other than what is shown in the linked screenshot.

Hi Mike, thanks for the update. You were trying to open the form editor for the InventorButton.vb source then. The message was as expected since the Visual Studio form editor found the source was not an editable form, which was as designed. In case the source code needed to be checked, please use the View Code command from the right click context menu.

Glad to hear all other worked just fine. Please feel free to contact us again should any other issues arise. Best regards.
