Ren

Great
Thanks again

Really looking forward to trying it but after I have installed the add-in I can't find it in inventor anywhere. Under the tab that shows you all the running add-in I can't find iEport at all. It is suppose to run on 64 bit correct. I have Inventor 2010 and Windows 7 64 bit professional.

Have you try to run the exe fil as administrator ?
I am using win 7 64 bit with any problems.

I just tried running the install file as administrator after uninstallng program and still it won't show up. I have also tried restarting with no luck. Thats to bad we could really use this add-in.

Thanks

Hi Thank
The addin is created on Inv 2011, it seems to be some thing
with version. and it is not working with 2010.
I will return back soon as possible

The tool works great! Thanks!!

2 questions for ya...

1. How do I get the DXF to save without bend lines?
2. Is there anyway to get this to work with an iPart?

I posted a topic similar to this but haven't had any luck yet....

and turn off Bend lines

Hi
I've issue with prerequests and file naming
Someone can verify if the issue appears with other config? please
My OS is win 7 French and Inv pro french.
Thanks

Sorry the program will only be on English language.
What do you expect, from a free program 132 Language?
I don't want to spending hours on translation.

Thanks again for the help! The ini file did the trick with the bend lines Your program just knocked about five minutes off my electrical/junction boxes I have automated through Inventor....Thanks!

Any word on getting this to work with iParts? I just finished one with 36 different configurations and had to "manually" save each one individually. Beggers can't be choosers though! Haha...
