SheetList 2.0.1

Sheet List Add-in for Autodesk Inventor

The Sheet List add-in creates a table that shows the sheet number and sheet name of all the sheets in and Autodesk Inventor drawing.

Usage

The addin can either be used via the commmand buttons added to the Inventor UI or by using the API with your own code.

Installation

1. Download the SheetListAddin-vX.X.X.zip file from the latest release
2. Unzip the contents into C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
3. First time starting Inventor the Addin may need to be unblocked.
   • Go to Tools Tab > Options Panel > Add-ins
     • Find the addin in the Available Add-Ins list and select it. Then Uncheck the Block checkbox and check Load/Unloaded and Load Automatically

If using the Addin's API outside of iLogic:

3. The SheetList.dll needs to be added as a reference to your project
   • NuGet package available on NuGet.org and GitHub Packages

Addin UI

The Sheet List panel is added to the Annotate tab when a drawing document is open.

Using the API

The GetSheetListAddin() extension method for Inventor.Aplication can be used to get the instance of SheetListAutomation.

SheetListAutomation includes the following methods that can be used:

C#

var dwgDoc = (DrawingDocument)inventorApp.Documents.Open(@"C:\Work\MyDrawing.idw");

var sheetListAddin = inventorApp.GetSheetListAddin();

sheetListAddin.CreateSheetList(dwgDoc.ActiveSheet);

iLogic

AddReference "SheetList"
Imports SheetList

Dim sheetListAddin As SheetListAutomation
sheetListAddin = ThisApplication.GetSheetListAddin()

sheetListAddin.CreateSheetList(ThisDoc.Document.ActiveSheet)

Configuration

If using the addin in the Inventor UI, settings can be set by clicking the Configure button in the Sheet List Ribbon Panel. If using the addin API, customizations are made by passing in SheetListSettings into the CreateSheetList methods.

[!IMPORTANT] The API methods will not use the same settings that are set using the addin's configure window.
