You Can Do It—How to Write Programs for Inventor

This lab is an introduction to customizing Inventor software using the software’s programming interface. Inventor software is a general-purpose design tool, but as an Inventor software user you have unique needs. Using Inventor software’s Application Programming Interface (API) you can customize Inventor software to be a tool specifically for you. Writing programs can often be intimidating, but this lab will cover the very basics of using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Inventor software’s programming interface to create custom applications. You’ll have hands-on experience creating your own program that works with Inventor software to drive parameters and work with iProperties.
