rectangle tool in sketch

[Tarkus]

from a few months I have abandoned the r2019 and I am using the r2024 on new pc with win11, but when I design the rectangles in sketch, I do not find myself with the inventor rectangle and I feel orphaned of an old form I had before.
This is the qube-it tools.
I reinstalled it, I also installed .net framework 3.5 as required by the installer, and so far all right.
However, I do not see it among the additional modules.
Any advice on how to do that?

Yes, that

Does anyone know how to reactivate it on inv 2024?

Sorry. @takes I don't know the add-in in question and I don't want to say fesserie but I think it hasn't been updated for 13 years since in the years they are solutions adopted natively in inventor.

draw a rectangle with central point and aligned vertically or horizontally
draw a rectangle with central point and not vertically aligned or horizontally
I understand the nuisance, but maybe you're gonna have to get yourself another way.

Yes, I am one of the people who writes in this forum that has the "competences" necessary to update the old add-in project.

but we have to find time to do so and we have to consider it if it is worth it.

as he rightly wrote @peppe , inventor evolved over time....

I do not like the rectangle instrument from center of inventor, because it tracks those two diagonals with lines of construction that stand on my soul.
Moreover with the tool qube tools, you could draw a rectangle from the middle point of a horizontal or vertical side.
with inventor no.
and anyway I think you've got the problem:
"I understand the nuisance, but maybe you're gonna have to get yourself another way."

I think it's worth it.
inventor evolved, okay, but the rectangles better track with the qube.
for me it was more evolved with the additional module in question.
However, blessed you who have the skills necessary to do so

@takes , the "competences" you can acquire them and, if you feel appropriate, dedicate yourself to this project in your spare time.

cmq, I repeat, I am not the only one in this forum with the necessary "competencies", my personal opinion is that it is not worth it because it has been abandoned for 13 years and only one person interested in use.

more than 10 years ago, I developed an addin for inventor, was downloaded from a few thousand users, I received a lot of positive feedback.
even if it was downloaded by dozens of users every month, about 4 years ago I closed it and removed from the internet because it required too much of my time and too many dinars.

I can't find him online. So I don't know what this "qube-it" does or try to install it.

you tried with this:
or this:

 

[dsw]

@ cast16 I didn't understand what you didn't find, but I realized you're advising @takes to make attempts... .

and if these attempts compromise the functioning of inventor?

 

[Cast16]

@ cast16 and if these attempts compromise the functioning of inventor?

If this were to cause problems with inventor, I would assume all legal responsibilities and cover the costs of damage... the jokes I would like to know what risks you expect, because from my experience, apart from the cases where attempts have not solved the problem, I did not find any problems.

 

[dsw]

you asked a good question @ cast16 , you will forgive me if I don't answer you, I think my answer may be a useless list of assumptions.

I took a quick look at the original addin project and saw that it is based on version 3.5 of the framework, I think that this could be a problem, what do you think?

 

[Cast16]

@takes: I had not answered your question hoping that someone more experienced would give you a solution. I am absolutely not an expert, sometimes I managed to make old addon work, as I mentioned in the previous post. @dsw : I asked a question (nice?) hoping to learn from your experience. You chose to answer with another question... Whatever. I will probably no longer participate in this discussion until I have something useful to add and really do not have time to waste in useless conversations.

 

[dsw]

@ cast16 , when I wrote "good question" I meant that, from my point of view, the answer is complex, I was not trying to make sarcasm.

the problems that a dated addin could create are inumerevoli, from the mouse moving to clicks to files that sometimes do not save or to blocks of the application or operating system etc. etc. etc.

the causes for which an addin can create problems or function without problems do not depend on how well the addin was written, but may depend on updates of the operating system, changes or deprecation of some inventor bees, the fact that the new versions require different security criteria to work, etc.

said this, an addin could work endlessly and with any version of inventor, but it is not possible to know a priori if it will create problems.

in our case we have the source code of the addin and therefore it is possible to make appropriate checks of the case before using it and if necessary to make updates.

The question I asked you was to have your own opinion because I had the impression that you knew the subject well, it was not my intention to create a situation of discomfort.
