Is there a way of copying newer versions of an application plugin bundle from a network folder into the application plugin folder when AutoCAD starts. In VBA I used the acad.dvd project, to copy and load VBA projects. Is there something similar for .NET bundles? Thanks.
Not really, I'd suggest two methods:
- create a neutral plugin that would copy files from a network location and NETLOAD them by hand;
- create an external task to do this on machine startup, maybe check and copy only if needed;
The first method is good and fast if you have to netload dlls, a bit more complicated if you need lo load CUIx, but you can find some example around.
The second is better if you need to copy/upgrade more files, like libraries, databases or whatever else.
You can also use a mix of the two, depends on the frequency of upgrade you need.
