I have an Inventor plugin written in C#. One of the lines is MeasureTools MT = App.MeasureTools;, where App is an InventorServer object. However, when I upload it as an AppBundle to APS, I get the following error when trying to run a WorkItem:
[10/02/2023 15:04:34] InventorCoreConsole.exe Error: 0 : SamplePlugin .dll : Processing failed. System.NotImplementedException: Not implemented (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004001 (E_NOTIMPL))

Is MeasureTools not supported in APS?
I have tried to run the plugin locally as an addin in my local Inventor app. I use the exact same code, including InventorServer objects instead of Application objects, etc. It works fine locally.
That object has dependency on UI libraries that are not available in Inventor Server - this is not Design Automation, but Inventor Server specific, i.e. would be the same if you tried to use it from a Vault Job Processor that uses Inventor Server
(Configurator 360 had similar limitations: "iLogic Measure functions are not available." - https://help.autodesk.com/view/CFG360/ENU/?guid=GUID-96EA0CAA-73BB-42C2-94D8-73CC76791DC7)
What you could do is use the underlying functions instead:
instead of ...
ThisServer.MeasureTools.GetMinimumDistance(workPoint1, workPoint2)
... you could do
workPoint1.Point.DistanceTo(workPoint2.Point)
instead of ...
ThisServer.MeasureTools.GetMinimumDistance(workAxis1, workPoint1)
... you could do
workAxis1.Line.DistanceTo(workPoint1.Point)
etc
