Everything you need to get SheetPilot running. Still stuck? Email support@caliprlabs.com.
1. Install
- Close Autodesk Inventor.
- Run SheetPilot-Setup.exe and follow the steps. It finds Inventor 2024, 2025 and 2026 automatically.
- Open Inventor. The SheetPilot tab appears on the ribbon.
Needs Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and administrator rights to install.
2. Free trial
Your 15-day trial starts the first time you use a SheetPilot command. Every feature is included. The days left are shown in SheetPilot > Licence.
3. Activate your licence
- After you buy, the licence key arrives by email.
- In Inventor open SheetPilot > Licence.
- Paste the key and click Activate. An internet connection is needed for this step.
One licence works on up to two of your PCs. To move it, open Licence > Deactivate this PC on the old PC, then activate on the new one.
4. Your first drawing set
- Open SheetPilot > Settings once: choose your drawing template, title block fields and standards. Save, and export the settings to share with your team.
- Open the finished assembly and click Create drawings. Enter the project details (customer, project number, quantity).
- Check the sheets one by one in Check & PDF, then export the PDF sets and the BOM.
5. Update or uninstall
To update, run the new installer over the old one; your settings and licence stay. To remove SheetPilot, use Windows Settings > Apps > SheetPilot > Uninstall. Deactivate your licence first if you want to use it on another PC.
Troubleshooting
The SheetPilot tab does not appear in Inventor
Close Inventor and open it again. Then check Tools > Add-Ins: SheetPilot should be listed and set to Loaded / Load on Startup. If it is not listed, run the installer again as administrator.
"This key is already active on the maximum number of PCs"
Each licence works on two PCs. On the old PC open SheetPilot > Licence > Deactivate this PC, then activate on the new one. Old PC not available? Email support@caliprlabs.com with your key and we will reset it.
"Could not reach the licence server"
Check the internet connection and any company firewall or proxy. SheetPilot needs to reach the licence server over HTTPS to activate. After activation it keeps working offline for 7 days.
"Your PC date and time look wrong"
Set the correct date, time and time zone in Windows (Settings > Time & language), then restart Inventor.
Can I install it on a new PC?
Yes. Deactivate on the old PC first (Licence > Deactivate this PC), install on the new PC and activate with the same key.
Need a hand?
Send the PC ID from the Licence window and a screenshot. We reply within one business day.
