Error netloading plugin from network location

By Balaji Ramamoorthy

Iam trying to netload a plugin from a network location. But it gives me an error indicating “Please enable the loadFromRemoteSources” switch. How do I resolve this ?

This message is due to a change related to administering CAS policy in the .Net Framework 4.0 as compared to .Net Framework 3.5.

More information on this is available in the following links :

To fix this problem, you can modify the “acad.exe.config” by inserting the following line in it.

The “acad.exe.config” can be found in the AutoCAD installation folder.

<runtime>

　　　 <loadFromRemoteSources enabled=”true”/>

</runtime>

The <loadFromRemoteSources> element lets you specify that the assemblies that run partially trusted in earlier versions of the .NET Framework should be run fully trusted in the .NET Framework 4.
