Watch High Resolution Video on AR-CAD
This post is in continuation of my earlier posts on Developing Addins for Inventor using C# part1 and part2. In this screencast / video tutorial, we go a step forward and show a Form / Command Dialog when our Custom Button is clicked in Inventor. The form created is very much basic. Ideally the form should minimize along with Inventor if Inventor is minimized. That part is not taken care of in this screencast. It would be done in coming tutorials.
When our Custom Button is clicked (OnExecute), a form is displayed with a label and a Submit Button. Upon clicking Submit Button, the file name of the active document (opened file) is retrieved from Inventor Application object and updated in the Form.
