Check out the recorded webinar

Get started with automating your drawings using the Inventor API. In this session, Philip Cox, Senior Application Engineer at KETIV, will walk through the basics of developing in both iLogic and Visual Studio, and show how to programmatically add views, tables, Sketch Symbols, and more using Inventor’s API.

To spice it up, fellow Application Engineer Justin Cao will join as “a typical end-user” who’s just learning automation in a classroom-style virtual environment. You’ll see the kinds of questions that come up early on and how to approach drawing automation step by step, so you can start applying the same ideas in your own projects.
