The customer uses the CAD software Autodesk Inventor in Germany and Spain. .Net add-ins are developed to facilitate the work of the designers. In this project, existing add-ins are further developed in C# and obsolete add-ins from VB.NET are rewritten to C#.
Supplement
The project consists of two parts. In the first part, a function library for the configuration and calculation of motors for conveyor belts is further developed. This library is integrated in the conveyor belt configurator of the Spanish subsidiary. In the second part, existing add-ins for the preparation and output of 2D drawings are converted from VB.NET to C#. The old procedural design is improved by object orientation. The obsolete VB.NET Addins are still used in the Autodesk Inventor 2015 of the Spanish subsidiary. The new C# Addins will be developed for Autodesk Inventor 2018.
Subject description
To facilitate the development and maintenance of Autodesk add-ins, the customer opted for C# as the common programming language. All interface and code comments are in English.
