OdooPLM / Discussion / General Discussion: Support for Autodesk Inventor 2016

Donal - 2015-12-14

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if OdoooPLM Client version 2014.7.20 (x64) is supported with Autodesk Inventor 2016?
I'm trying to register the add-in, but getting the following error message:

---------------------- 8< -----------------------
C:\Program Files\Odoo\Integrations\Inventor>InstallINVEditor.exe Inventor Addin registration failed. (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)

--------------------- 8< ---------------------

Hi Donal.
Thanks for your interest on our module.
I would suggest to test our latest release, you can find on our ftp server :

ftp://omniasolutions.no-ip.org

user: omniafree
password: omniafree

You'll find a directory named PLM Client and here you can find our latest Client we tested also on Inventor 2016. We'll leave there for a week, from today.
If you should experience issues with our module, please, let us know more on them. We need to understand more about your system configuration (OS. system version, SP's, antivirus or firewall, antispam from third parties, etc), about Inventor (ok 2016 version, other plugins loaded, etc).

Thanks
Regards
Fabio

  Hi Fabio,
  
  Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I've download the latest client from the FTP site you provided but it didn't install the Inventor Add-in. When I run the 'InstallINVEditor.exe' binary I get the same error message as on my origional post.
  
  My system details are as follows:
  
  OS: Windows 7 Professional (X64) SP1

  Antivirus
  Kaspersky Small Office Security 3 (13.0.4.233)
  
  And the firewall on the machine is disabled.
  It would be great to get OdooPLM evaluated as it could be a very neat replacement for Vault in our organisation.
  
  Kind regards,

Just to bump this thread.
I done a little more investigation and believe that the issue may have to do with the CLSID of the Inventor application in the Windows Registry.
The CLSID for 'Inventor.Application' as per the registry is: {B6B5DC40-96E3-11d2-B774-0060B0F159EF}

I then updated the <ClassId> and <ClientId> elements in the file Autodesk.OpenErpPlmWrapper.Inventor.Addin' with this string.

But the curious things now is that when I run the InstallINVEditor.exe command in a window without elevated privileges I get the following:

C:\Program Files\Odoo\Integrations\Inventor>InstallINVEditor.exe Inventor Addin registration failed. [Error 5] Access is denied: u'c:\\program fi les\\autodesk\\inventor 2016\\bin\\OpenErpPlmWrapper'

Running the same command in a prompt with elevated privileges gives the following:

C:\Program Files\Odoo\Integrations\Inventor>InstallINVEditor.exe Inventor Addin registration failed. (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)

Any further help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Donal,

we are suporting the 2016 version with the new beta version that is available on the download area.
the problem that you report seems to be releted to some antivirus on your machine.
let me know if you resolve the problem ..
We are in progres to release a the new version very soon, and we would like to fix all the remaining bugs.

best regards,
Matteo

Hi Matteo,

I've tried to install the beta version of the OdoooPLM Client again but I'm getting the same result I'm afraid.

Clients that I've tried include:

OdooPlm(x64)_07042016_123135.exe
OdooPlm(x64)_02052016_110317.exe
OdooPlm(x64)_06052016_225437.exe

I've also disabled my AntiVirus system to take that out of the loop

Inventor is 2016 SP1
Inventor Version

Any further pointers you could provide to help resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Donald,

We made some modification at the installation program in order to be more verbose and let us know the real reason of the error.
Please download the following version and install it.
www.omniasolutions.eu/OmniaFreeSpace/odooPLMOdooPlm(x64)_27052016_112352.exe

the InstallINVEditor.exe shuld be more verbose.

another test you could do is:
1) run the installation package
2) select only solidworks
3) finish the installation
4) re run the installation
5) select inventor
6) finish the installation

let me know the resoult of this activity
Thanks in advance

regards,
Matteo

Hi Matteo,

I was unable to find the file 'odooPLMOdooPlm(x64)27052016112352.exe' at the link above.
However, I did find a newer version at https://sourceforge.net/projects/openerpplm/files/Client/Candidate/OdooPlm%28x64%29_06062016_172021.exe/download from today.

Unfortunately I'm experinecing the same behaviour with this one. Running the InstallINVEditor.exe in a command prompt with elevated permissions provides me with more vebose logging as you mentioned.

The results are as follows:

Perhaps there is something in there that can point to my current configuration an what may be wrong.

Also, I tried your suggestion with regard to installing the SolidWork integration first and then restarting the installer to install the Inventor Integration. unfortunately this this not seem to make any difference.

As alway, you help is greatly appreciated.

Donal.

Hi Donald,

thanks for the replay,
it seems that it's not able to create the com instance of the Inventor.application to get the path for installing the plugin.

The bed thinks is that we are not able to replicate the issius on our machine so it's difficoult to fix it.
We are going to change the wey in witch we get the path for installing, but we need some more days in order to test the installer.

In the mean time you can:
Installa the plugin (inventor)
copy the file stored in the ..Odoo\Integration\Inventor\OpenErpPlmWrapper.dll under the inventor bin folder creating a folder under it Es: ...\Inventor 1016\bin\OpenErpPlmWrapper\OpenErpPlmWrapper.dll
* Copy the Autodesk.OpenPlmWrapper.inventor.addin under the C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Inventor 2016\Addins

with this tip you shuold se the plug-in on Inventor

best regards,
Matteo

The only point that i do not understant is why you are changing the site for Facebook logo 3d button PNG .Py file for the description rather using the odoo translations.
