ADD-in from worklocaties vault

JanHermans — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 12:59:12 GMT

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to launch an add-in from the workspace? This is automatically synchronized on every PC. Everyone must use the same add-in.

Sometimes I have to update the add-in with new data once a month.

Currently, I have to do this separately on each PC (about 20 PCs). I want to automate this. Can someone tell me if this is possible and what the best approach is?

Regards, Jos

There is an ongoing, similar conversation in this thread (Self Updating Add-In).

sure it is possible, i am using it this way.. in addin file you must give whole .dll file path like in red line below:

<Addin Type="Standard">
  <!--Created for Autodesk Inventor Version 19.0-->
  <ClassId>...</ClassId>
  <ClientId>...</ClientId>
  <DisplayName>XXX</DisplayName>
  <Description>XXX</Description>
  <Assembly>serverpath\name.dll</Assembly>
  <LoadOnStartUp>1</LoadOnStartUp>
  <UserUnloadable>0</UserUnloadable>
  <Hidden>0</Hidden>
  <SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>17..</SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>
  <DataVersion>1</DataVersion>
  <UserInterfaceVersion>1</UserInterfaceVersion>
</Addi

here is like it should look like:

<Assembly>C:\Vault\ustawienia\Skrypt\Bin\create_files.dll</Assembly>
