I got error in inventor developer tool setup (SDK) "could not find any version of Microsoft visual studio", even i reinstall inventor and visual studio, i installed inventor 2023 and visual studio 2022 letest.

A sister video for fusion 360 would be fantastic... Thanks for sharing

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Thanks for the idea!

[@jeremychaisson3145]

Can you PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! do a AVA on how to add a Custom Ribbon Tab? I'm shocked that's not in the Template commented out.

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Hey, great idea! We'll take this idea back to our content creators and see if we can get this done for you. Cheers!

[@Krishna-zk7zs]

Thank you Ketiv. It will greatly help if you share the complete project in the demo.thanks in advance

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Thank you for this feedback, we can do this in future videos.

[@roberttujakowski2036]

Thanks for this tutorial. Can I use C# instead of Basic for API? I saw on Autodesc page that they recommend C# also and I'm more familiar with C#. @@KETIVTechnologies

[@chrnos15]

Thanks you KETIV! Im really interesting in these kind of videos: automation of the Inventor AVI. Keep doing this kind of stuff! =)

[@KETIVTechnologies]

More to come! Thanks for watching!

[@alaeddinealbouchi5467]

it's an excellent job, can you please make a video about the Autodesk forge with a live example, including the plugins and the app bundle? thank you

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Thanks for the feedback and for the suggestion! Nicole Morris | KETIV

[@Dcassimatis]

it would seam a necessary 1st step to elaborate on the Visual Studio work loads that are needed before you get into the API

[@MostafaMahmoud-wz6gx]

well after I commented out the masge box and added those couple of codes to save the part file, I am still get the Huzzah massage box. Any idea?

[@FTFTFT4]

Personally I countered an issue with the compatibility of Visual Studio 2020 and Inventor 2023. After Installing Visual Studio 2019 everything worked perfectly.

[@chrisa9549]

Is this part of a course we can register for? If so where do we register? Thanks for the video!

[@danielflorescu281]

Thanks KETIV, excellent video. I'm just getting started with Inventor API. Can you please tell me where I can find the list of special strings mentioned at 22:40? Thanks!

[@Spelter]

Is there anyway to make a C# Addin and not VB? Edit: yeah I found it, they named it VCSInventor lol

[@KETIVTechnologies]

We are glad you found a solution! Thank you for sharing it.

[@bakedecorate3497]

In my visual studio 2019 there is no zip file in project template how can I get it now

[@PhilipCox5]

Here is the next AVA in this line of AVAs: Creating basic geometry with the Inventor API: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6DMooOneKh7sMU&ab_channel=KETIVTechnologies

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Thank you Philip!

[@sagarawal4835]

How do we connect database from Visual studio in Inventor API?

[@KETIVTechnologies]

Hi there, the answer to this is a bit complicated and could be an entire webinar within itself. We are going to add this topic to our list of upcoming sessions!

[@spups1000]

Thank you Ketiv. I have a question. The DLL loads in inventor like expected on my pc where I created it using VB. But when i copy the files in the addin folder on my job pc, inventor dont even list it in addins. Is there something im missing?

[@Futemire]

Did you also copy over the .addin file and make sure the path listed in the file is pointing to the new location of your addin's .dll? The .addin file is what Inventor looks for in the addin folder and reads the path to your addin .dll from there to load it.

[@spups1000]

@@Futemire i eventually got through just cant remember exactly what i did. I think i copied the file to all posible folders inventor would search in. And then I just use the folder that actually worked.

[@spups1000]

@@Futemire because for some reason, inventor searches in different places on different pc.

[@hassaantariq3325]

Hi, Thank you for this tutorial. But when I started my Visual Studio Project. Invertor shows up but I do not see my Add-In. Any suggestions?

[@PhilipCox5]

Hi Hassaan, Is the addin showing up in the add-in menu? The Add-Ins menu is found under the Tools Ribbon .

[@hassaantariq3325]

Hi@@PhilipCox5, I resolved the issue. It was my own mistake. Currently i am stuck at something else. I trying to run a C# Web API based project. I am just connecting to Autodesk vault in the app, nothing more than that. But when i run the app browser gives me this error Could not load file or assembly 'Autodesk.Connectivity.AdSSOWrapper' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. I did manage to do login to vault using a class library type project. It does connect successfully. But same code is not working in a Web API based project. Please suggest. Thanks

[@marcianito100]

How did you solve it? I can't see my Addin either

[@Futemire]

@@hassaantariq3325 The error is suggesting that you need to add a reference to the Autodesk.Connectivity.AdSSOWrapper.dll to your project. But I'm a bit confused, are you developing an Inventor App like in the video and trying to talk to Vault, because Vault actually has it's own API and I have never needed the mentioned assembly. What version of Vault are/were you connecting to?

[@mohtasimmapkar5412]

Heyy!! First of all fantastic explaination. I am trying to install developertools from SDK but it gives an error that there is no version of visual studio available. Tried after installing VS 2017 as well as 2019 same error. PS i am using Inventor 2017

[@KETIVTechnologies]

hi, please refer to this document for the fix. knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Developertools-msi-could-not-find-any-version-of-Visual-Studio.html

[@terryvandendungen4338]

You do need an Admin Cred to install the SDK

[@Futemire]

I agree, in corporate environments security configurations can be as different as people and can be extremely tricky if you are not an Admin of your developer machine. If you are going to be developing add-ins and installing SDKs, you really need to request Admin rights on your machine.
