Python, Reload Plant3D after modifying scripts??

[kh_koell]

Hi 2 all!

Is it necessary to constantly make a relaod, after modifying a python script in /CustomScripts?

Following happens:

• write code in *.py
• Start P3D
• open .dwg
• PLANTREGISTERCUSTOMSCRIPTS - fine
• (PnP3dACPAdapter is already loaded)
• run testascript -fine, geometry is generated
• modify *.py
• again PLANTREGISTERCUSTOMSCRIPTS - fine
• run testascript -fine, geometry is generated but the previous version
• even when deleted and purged the blocks, and even when in new version additional objects
• restart P3D
• new version works...........

So, in this case developing will get a loooong procedure 😉

Unfortunately, there is no shortcut here. Plant 3D must be completely restarted to load the new .pyc files generated with PLANTREGISTERCUSTOMSCRIPTS.

That process is a real time burner.
