This is in continuation of my earlier posts on Developing Addins for Autodesk Inventor using C# Part1, Part2 and Part3. In this screencast, I have introduced a TreeView component in our Custom Form, which gets displayed upon clicking on our Addin Button. I have also introduced concept of ImageList briefly and how it was coupled together with our TreeView.

We also added a new set of methods/ functions in AssemblyTreeCmdDlg.cs file. The major part of the code has been taken from AssemblyTree Apprentice Server example, that gets shipped with Inventor SDK.

Upon clicking on Submit button (on our Form), Inventor quickly produces a TreeView with all the Parts, Sub-Assemblies in the active assembly file, and also shows the Constraints that each of these parts / sub-assemblies have.
