When you purchased your license for Inventor pro. I assume it was a perpetual license, is that correct? Rom Psx Gear Fighter Dendoh on this page. If so did you purchase a maintenance plan with it?
If not then you are not considered a maintenance subscription person and you would not been grandfathered in. If you did have a maintenance plan and you elected to drop it, then you are not a maintenance subscription candidate either. IF you do have a active maintenance plan with your perpetual license then yes you are entitled to it. Linotype Centennial Font. In the end it has nothing to do with the new licensing (term based) model. Well these are the little benefits that Autodesk provides to entice end users, organization and companies to maintain their subscription. This add-on was not created to generate a few dollars here and there. Its a bonus if you have a subscription.
Just like the mid-year releases that Autodesk is now providing for Inventor (since Inventor 2016). In the end, you elected to drop your maintenance plan for some apparent reason and that's your choice. But people don't realize the importance (especially now) of a maintenance plan when it comes to a perpetual license. Okay my 2 cents. Some apparent reason?
Sarcasm isnt necessary, friend. I dont feel I need to pay for a product that I have had no use for. I have become very proficient with inventor and never used the maintenance package after the first 60 days so why keep paying for it? All im getting at is that it would be nice to have access to the add ins without paying for a bunch of other stuff that isnt needed. You mention that Autodesk does this to entice the end user to maintain a subscription but in my case it has done the exact opposite. Because I cannot get the add in directly for Autodesk I am going to pay someone else for nearly the exact same thing.
I have no doubt that there are thousands of people in my same shoes willing and capable to pay for what they need and not a bunch of extras that MIGHT be used. Im no math wiz but at a few hundred dollars per person that equates to a lot more than just a few bucks. If money isnt an object then there would be no reason for this thread but for people like me, new small business owners we have to make every penny count and paying for things we dont need just so we can access a small part of something else is financial suicide. Autodesk has to make money, I get it, but I do too. Sorry if my last reply came across as something else. I fully understand your frustration and requirements and yes you are not the only one out there. I was just trying to point out the reason behind this add-on and the requirements its under.
Most likely there should be a secondary option allowing non-subscription to pay for it but I also understand they are providing it as a bonus for those who do invest in subscription (meaning getting your money worth). In the end there's 2 sides of it and both sides have valid points and reasons. Have a great day and stop worrying about converting a mesh to solid.
