    Default VBA or C# for developing Inventor plugin?

    I want to create a plugin for Inventor, but I don't know which language to choose. I have some knowledge on C#, but from what I've searched so far, there is little support for it from the community. My question is whether to start on learning VBA, mainly because of the resources out there, or try and continue with C#.

    Warning: I don't currently use IV.

    VBA is effect dead. When you say "little support", I assume you mean "code available for IV". I believe its just that there aren't as many developers for IV as there are for acad. But if you find code in VB.NET, you can easily translate it using free tools. IMHO, if you have a start with C#, then stick with that.
