Making plugin loaded for user automatically without entering plugin manager

[jzarczynski]

Hello,

I've been working on add-ons for Autodesk Inventor. I deploy them remotely to users' computers. After the initial restart of Inventor, users need to head over to the Add-In Manager, deselect the 'Blocked' option, and then tick the checkboxes for 'Loaded/Unloaded' and 'Load Automatically'.

Surprisingly, some users find these steps quite challenging. Is there a way to lift the block on the add-on without causing any inconvenience to the users?

I've read the documentation and configured addin manifest accordingly:

However, the users still are prompted to unblock the plugin manually in Add-in manager.

Kind Regards,
Jaromir

Hi @jzarczynski . Try adding the LoadBehavior parameter.

0 – loading immediately after loading Inventor (not recommended because it increases the loading time of Inventor itself);

1 – download after opening any document;

2 – loading after opening the assembly;

3 - download after opening the presentation;

4 - loading after opening the drawing;

10 – loading only on demand, via the Inventor API or manually using the add-on manager.

If the previous advice didn't help, then try adding this to your manifest: <LoadOnStartUp>1</LoadOnStartUp>

To remove "Block", the addin need to signed with signature.
