tylerwarner33/autodesk-inventor-templates

This repository provides a collection of Visual Studio project templates for scaffolding Autodesk Inventor add-ins. It supports multiple .NET versions, ranging from .NET Framework 4.8 up to .NET 10.0, and targets Inventor versions 2023 through 2026. The templates automate the build and installation process, allowing developers to quickly create VB.NET add-ins with features like ribbon buttons and iLogic integration.

Developers can now scaffold Autodesk Inventor add-in projects using the new 'Basic' and 'Stacked Button' templates. These templates provide a complete starting point for VB.NET add-ins, including configuration for targeting Inventor versions 2023 through 2026 (automatically mapping to .NET Framework 4.8 or .NET 8.0), MSBuild targets for automatic installation to the user's AppData folder, and sample command tools such as API help, iLogic integration, and ribbon button creation.

source/Templates · high confidence

The project has been updated to use the modern \dotnet new\ template format, providing Visual Studio project templates for creating Autodesk Inventor Add-Ins that support .NET versions from 4.8 to 8.0 and Inventor versions 2023 through 2026. This change introduces a new \.editorconfig\ file to enforce consistent C\# coding styles and formatting, a \GitVersion.yml\ configuration to manage versioning in Continuous Delivery mode with preview labels, and a \slnx\ solution file to manage the project structure. The README has also been updated to reflect these new installation and usage instructions.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The repository now includes new SDK-style project templates for creating Autodesk Inventor add-ins, targeting .NET 10.0. These templates (Basic and Stacked Button) are configured to build as libraries, reference the \stdole\ NuGet package (v17.14.40260) and the \Autodesk.Inventor.Interop\ assembly, and automatically copy the compiled add-in bundle to the user-specific Inventor Addins directory upon build.
