PDS for Inventor 9 Update
I have traced the problems that LeaCar PDS has when used with Inventor R9. It stems from a change (I call it a bug) in the way the OnDocumentChange Event behaves. This problem has been reported by several developers and Autodesk has assigned it an official "Change Request". As is their policy, they will not reveal when this will be fixed. I have tried several work-arounds but have not found a working solution yet. Until I do or Autodesk acts, I cannot support PDS for R9 in automatic mode (it will work in manual mode). Thank you for patience. I am working hard to get this working in R9.
