• Connecting Visual Studio to other applications

    When collaborating with other applications and libraries, it’s essential to instruct your Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such as Visual Studio, where to locate the required files. This action enables the IDE to recognize available objects, providing programming support, and allows it to reference the files during code compilation. To include a reference in your project,…

  • Export all iPart variants

    To generate the render featured on the Tabulated designs with iPart page, I had to create and export all the members of the iPart. To save myself from a monotonous and repetitive task, I developed a small macro to handle the file exports instead. The process is straightforward. Firstly, obtain a reference to the part…

  • Tabulated designs with iPart

    Inventor offers the capability for a single part or assembly to manage numerous variants. Using iPart and iAssembly, you can create a master file that, upon request, generates a part for the desired variant. Each variant maintains a link to the master, enabling simultaneous changes across all associated parts. How to create an iPart Start…
