Is everyone able to follow this method of teaching? if you want me to slow down and explain more in detail then please let me know? Enjoy :)

[@MikhailTsarev]

To try this code, the first action should be "pip install pywin32" command in the IDE terminal before importing the win32com (it's not a standard module). Maybe this will help someone :).

[@pythonautomationist24]

Thanks for this

[@matyasjunek3311]

Thank you for this video tutorial. It is very useful.

[@pythonautomationist24]

Glad it was helpful! You are welcome

[@tr_2292]

Thank you! This is so cool.
Is there a way to access DocumentTypeEnum?

[@pythonautomationist24]

Yes you can. Check out the documentation 💪🏾

[@autocalcs]

Surprised that Inventor's official docs don't mention using Python at all

[@pythonautomationist24]

Python is compatible with pretty much all CAD applications. However the documentation for the same is poor. Hence these videos are my attempt to clarify this topic

[@autocalcs]

@@pythonautomationist24Being able to use python to access Inventor and other applications, a whole new world is open.

[@pythonautomationist24]

Absolutely. You can even trespass the inventory API and just use its own libraries to automate a lot of work, which would be long winded otherwise

[@autocalcs]

@@pythonautomationist24 what do you mean by it's own libraries?

[@autocalcs]

got it - the power of app can be combined with python world
