3rd party plug-ins temporary deactivation.

Hello!

 

I'd like to find a way to temporarily deactivate a 3rd party plug-in I use. It's called SANCAD and it helps me with sanitation networks projects. There's nothing wrong with it, works great, but every time I open AutoCAD it slows down the startup process a lot, and it always prompts some pop up boxes for to "ok". Because of this, it gets in the way of some other lisps routines I also use on AutoCAD, or even get in the way of native AutoCAD processes, for example: Batch plot. I can't batch plot automatically, I have to go several "OKs" for each drawing in the plotting list.

It would be great to have a way to quickly "Deactivate" the plug-in without needing to uninstall it, and be able to work in AutoCAD when I don't need it, and quickly "Re-activate" it, to when I will need to use it.

 

Here are some screenshots to illustrate:

Some of the pop-ups that are always getting in my way:

Thanks a lot!

Then ask the add-on vendor for support on the matter, including how to create a PROFILE or STARTUP (or WORkSPACE) without it then get in the habit of launching/using your software in that mode always until you want it.
