64 Bit and KWiK Addins

I have been getting quite a few emails about 64 bit systems and my Addins. Unfortunately it is my understanding that all Addins need to be recompiled on a 64 bit system. There may be more to it than that, I am not real sure at this point.

I don't currently have access to a 64 bit system to make the updates, and I don't have any plans to get a new system anytime soon..... Unless someone wants to give me one ;~))

If anything changes I will post here to let you know.

Sorry, wish I could update them all.

I think the only thing you need to do, to make a 64bit version, is to make a setup program where you register the dll with the 64bit version of regasm.exe. That is if you have compiled the dll with the option “anyCPU” under “project>Properties>Compile>Advanced Compile Options” in Visual Studio.

Would it be possible to obtain the source code so that we may try to get the KWiK add-ins back?
We used Kwik Print and created simple prints with it. We no longer have this option and it has
was the only way we could creat .plt files as well which has brought our automation to a stop.
I hope you can get this solved ASAP.

Hi Luke

Sorry, I am working on these as fast as time allows. I really am close, and hope to have something soon. At this point I will not sell my source code. Sorry.

Hey Kent.

Why AutoDESK doesnt purchase this Addin from you is beyond me. I switched our computers to 64 bit for speed and memory and now users want to go back to 32 bit due to the fact they lose Kwiksert. If there is anything I can do to help you progress the 64 bit application please dont hesitate.

Hey chode, or whoever wrote Kwiksert. Hurry up with the damn 64-bit version! I just got fired from my job because it took me 6 extra hours to insert screws on my assembly. Just put your damn source code up so people can change it. Now the Chinese are taking over our company because it's too damn slow because it's not 64 bit compatible. Thanks for getting us all addicted to this little tiny add-on that can't even be used anymore.

Kent,

Your KWiK addins certainly are of benefit to many users. My team as well is effected by the loss in x64. There are many of us out there who appreciate what you do so don't get discouraged by the negative post. We hope something can be done to get your programs up and running but understand if it doesn't happen.

Regards,

Kevin
