GETTING STARTED

Welcome to the Zidro Solutions Help Center. This multi-module productivity platform integrates natively inside your local deployment of Autodeskยฎ Inventorยฎ, embedding complex automation mechanics directly into your Ribbon UI workspace.

How to use it

1
Pre-requisites

Ensure that Autodesk Inventor is completely closed before beginning the installation.

2
Execution

Run the downloaded "ZidroSolutions_Setup.exe" file.

3
Deployment

The installer will automatically deploy the binaries to the secure, local directory of your Windows user profile. Administrator privileges are not required.

4
Launch

Open Autodesk Inventor. The Zidro Solutions tab will automatically load and initialize on your main Ribbon.

Configuration Parameters

๐Ÿ’ป Silent Installation (For IT Admins)

The Add-In fully supports unattended, silent deployments, making it ideal for enterprise distribution systems (e.g., SCCM, Intune) or PowerShell scripts. Run the installer with the uppercase /S argument: `ZidroSolutions_Setup.exe /S`

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Uninstallation

Ensure Inventor is closed. Open Windows "Add or remove programs", locate "Zidro Solutions", and click Uninstall. The routine will safely clean up all Add-In files from your system. (Silent uninstall: execute `Uninstall.exe /S` from the installation directory).

๐Ÿ’ก Native F1 Hook Execution

Every functional tool inside the Zidro panel features progressive dual-stage tooltips. Hovering over a UI control and striking the F1 key intercepts Autodesk's standard documentation routing and opens this specific page.

โš™๏ธ Under the hood

Zidro Solutions is currently validated under an Open Beta structure. Secure handshakes are routed directly through the native Autodesk Entitlement API to authenticate your session without invasive background telemetry.
