After installing User Tools, Rev Cloud icon does not appear

When you install  UserTools.msi, it creates a folder called UserTools in the same place as the msi file. If you want the DrawingTools, you need to go into the UserTools folder > DrawingTools folder > Bin folder. The RegisterDrawingTools.exe will add the tool to the Inventor Add-Ins Tab.

1. Open CMD.exe as administrator (use the right mouse button).
2. Browse to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\SDK\UserTools\DrawingTools\Bin (where DrawingTools.dll is located).
3. Type REGSVR32 DrawingTools.dll and press Enter.
   You must use command prompt as administrator. Otherwise registration will not work.
