  • Compatibility with new versions of Inventor (2023)
    Valentin Huguet | May 31, 2024 Verified Download (What's this?)

    As said by Johannes van Slooten, install Screenshot tool on your computer. 

    Then, in the following directory : C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\AvantCAD_ScreenshotTool.bundle\Contents

    Open ScreenhotTool.Inventor.addin with Notepad and replace the number on this line by 40 <SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>40../SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>

    Save and exit the file. Open Inventor and activate the Screenshot tool app in the complement manager. 

    Enjoy !

  • Great tool!!
    jelle jelle | December 27, 2022 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Such a great tool! When will this be available for Inventor 2023 again?


  • Best plugin for Inventor
    Charlie Dearman | August 11, 2022 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Hoping it gets updated to work with new versions of inventor, as its a great tool!

    The only other thing that would be good is if it remembered the settings used previoulsy, as I have to change the resolution and set the white background each time.


  • Very useful
    Jan Rautenberg | May 19, 2022 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Will there be an updated version available for Inventor 2023 and oncoming versions?
    Any way to make it work with Inventor 2023 already?

     


  • Very good app!
    Marcus von Spack | October 29, 2021 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Will there also be the 2022 version?


  • Way better than I expected
    Christopher Nguyen | September 23, 2021 Verified Download (What's this?)

    Okay so I thought 'this is too good to be true. How different could it be from the snipping tool?'

    Well, I was so, so wrong when I realized you can change adjust the image size. I took a screenshot size of 5432 x 3392. The image is 2.5mb and has INCREDIBLE quality.

    I wanted to take a high resolution screenshot instead of a render because I'm using the wireframe of the model as a graphic for a website and I wanted to have the background a certain colour. This is absolutely perfect. Thanks so much!

    My only recommendation would be to have better instructions on how to install it from start to finish. For anyone that may need help:

    1. After installation, go to the 'Tools' menu at the top of the ribbon.

    2. Click on 'Add-Ins'. It will be called 'AvantCAD ScreenshotTool' and it will be 'Blocked' on Load Behaviour.

    3. Uncheck 'Block' and check 'Load Automatically' or 'Loaded/Unloaded'; up to you.

    4. Then it will pop up on the Tools Ribbon menu. You may have to restart Inventor to see it. 

    Happy screenshotting!

    This is a great tool, but i cannot run the app in INV 2022. I install the app, but the INV 2022 doesn't load the app. Someone can help me?

    Thanks!

    Same problem here, the icon simply doesn't show up.

    Kevin Groah | January 19, 2022

  • Great tool but save location is broken
    Mike Smith | June 06, 2019 Verified Download (What's this?)

    I have been using this tool for a while now. In a previous version when you would click on the tool and take a screenshot it would save it in the project folder in which you were working. Since I upgraded to this new version everytime the tool is opened it wants to save the screenshot to my desktop. I either have to go find it and move it or I have to search for the project folder I am in (which we have thousands of) to change the save location. It would be ok if I could even copy and paste the file path from my file explorer window but the screenshot tool's folder location window doesn't allow you to paste in a folder path. I email the developer about this issue and I was told that it would be fixed but so far I haven't seen any new versions come out nor even a work around. If it wasn't for that I would give it 5 stars. Still a very helpful tool.

    Alexandru Spinu (Publisher) | June 18, 2019

    Thanks for review and bug report. I was busy so far with other projects. But I have fixed it now, there will be more options for save location, hopefully will be ok. I believe the following days the new version will be here.

    Steven Czechowski | December 02, 2016 Verified Download (What's this?)
