For a better understanding of how the Woodwork for Inventor API works, some sample programs are provided together with the installation:

 

C:\W4INV <Inventor Version> Design\PROJECTS\Samples\API Samples\Shelf.ipt
C:\W4INV <Inventor Version> Design\PROJECTS\Samples\API Samples\Standing Cabinet\Cabinet.iam
C:\W4INV <Inventor Version> Design\PROJECTS\Samples\API Samples\iBox Insert\Cupboard.iam

 

Shelf.ipt contains VBA functions that demonstrate the operation of the Woodwork for Inventor API functions on a part model. The functions programmed are simple and for those who have experience with Autodesk Inventor API, it will be easy to understand what the functions do and how to program them to achieve the desired operation. The names of the functions make it clear what operation is being performed with it.
