Launching plugin from the command line with Roamer.exe

Hi,

 

This seems like a dumb question, but I can't seem to get a command line command with roamer to recognize my plugin when trying to launch from the command line.

 

I've found the documentation here: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Navisworks/enu/2014/Help/0001-Quick_St1/0004-Command_4#procedures

 

But when I try to run the command

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Simulate 2013\roamer.exe" -ExecuteAddInPlugin "MyPlugin.ADSK"

or

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Simulate 2013\roamer.exe" -ExecuteAddInPlugin "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Simulate 2013\Plugins\MyPlugin.ADSK"

or

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Simulate 2013\roamer.exe" -ExecuteAddInPlugin MyPlugin.ADSK

 

when I have a plugin dll in my Navisworks install at C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Simulate 2013\Plugins\MyPlugin.ADSK\MyPlugin.ADSK.dll, I'm just getting a "The command line action failed: The Plugin was not found" message after roamer launches.

 

Am I overlooking some silly syntax thing?

 

Thanks,

Ok, figured it out, you don't necessarily use the filename of the plugin DLL but the plugin name string as defined in the [PluginAttribute("name", "GUID")] line in the plugin class .cs file formatted as "<name>.<GUID>"
