Where necessary AddIns folder located?


I want to create my first add-in program for inventor using c#. I got stuck on a part where i should copy my .addin file to folder AddIns or Inventor AddIns, because i haven't any of these. Not in directory like this C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Inventor 2014\Addins not in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 20xx\Inventor Addins or smth like that.

I've found folder AddIns in directory C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2016\SDK\DeveloperTools\Samples\VCSharp.NET\Addins. That's OK? Because. there are 3 diffrent folders AddIns with diffrent languages. Instead of VCSharp.NET ..\Samples\VB.NET\Addins and ..\Samples\VC++\AddIns.

Is that AddIns folder what i need?

Thanks for any help =)

P.S. Sorry for my bad English))


Solution

  • Try this:
    %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\ProjectName\
    Where "ProjectName" is the name of your project.

    %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\
    Should exist whereas you have to make the folder ProjectName

    The inside ProjectName Folder you will copy:
    ProjectName.dll
    Autodesk.ProjectName.Inventor.addin
