1.4     Activation process

The following manual assumes that Autodesk® Inventor® Software uses Ribbon User Interface. Current version of the QW‑AddIn does not support the classic user interface.

If the installation process is successful, QW‑AddIn add-in will be listed in Autodesk® Inventor® Add‑In Manager (Tools->Options->Add‑Ins). “Load behaviour” value of the add-in should be set to “Automatic/Part”, what means that the QW‑AddIn is loaded automatically whenever the Part Document (*.ipt) is opened. The value set to “Automatic/Loaded” means that QW‑AddIn have been already loaded.

When Part Document is active the QW‑AddIn button is visible under the Environments tab.
