How to debug the net.api plugin?

[pollyanna23]

Hi all,

I am new to Navisworks api. I was able to run the net api examples and create some simple ones by myself. But I do not know how to debug the plugin. Is that possible? Or how can I debug my application?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there zhangle,

I read through your article, and it looks like what I need.

My only problem is I can't copy the files to any subfolders within C:\Program Files\ folder hierarchy with xcopy.  It works no problem if I redirect it to C:\Test\ - but of course that defeats the purpose since we need it to get down to the Navisworks \Plugins folder

I have full admin rights on my workstation, I should be able to change some settings on the \Plugins folder to achive the Post-Build event command line debugging workflow, right?

Any suggestions here?

Thx!

Take ownership of the Plugins folder, this should do 😉
