Inventor二次开发入门(5)

That’s it! You have just written your first plug-in for Autodesk Inventor. Let’s run the plug-in to see what it does.

Running the Plug-in

1. Start Autodesk Inventor. (Note: When the plug-in is run it will start a new session of

Inventor if one is not already open.)

2. Create or open an existing Inventor assembly:

Either unzip the file Clutch_Bell_Simplified.zip, and open the

Clutch_Bell_Simplified.iam assembly or within Inventor make sure you have an

assembly of your choosing active. There are several types of document that can

be created or worked with inside Inventor. The most commonly used document

types are Part (.ipt), Assembly (.iam) and Drawing (.idw). Open a new assembly

and place some parts using the standard Inventor user-interface.
