Navisworks 2014 API new feature – One more path to load plugin

In the past, we can only put the plugin assembly under <Navisworks Installation Path>\Plugins. In 2014, you have one more option to deploy the assembly in

"%APPDATA%\Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2014\Plugins

In the DevDays’s PPT, it says the new path is “%USERPROFILE%“. It is wrong. Sorry for this.

For programming, the script of post-build event could be:

xcopy /Y "$(TargetDir)." "%APPDATA%\Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2014\Plugins\$(TargetName)\"

    Hi
    Is there a plugin directory that is shared between Simulate and Manage? So a particular plugin can get loaded from one location regardless of which version of Navis is installed.

    Also – is there a ProgramData version of the plugin directory so they can apply to all users without going into Program Files?
