My add-in cannot be loaded

[HideoYamada]

Hello,

One of my app user says that my add-in cannot be loaded.

The user send me the screen shot of Add-in Manager and it is strange.

"Loaded/Unloaded" checkbox is grayed out. I tried to reproduce this phenomenon but could not.

Does anyone know the condition to make this happen?

Thanks,

Hello Andrii,

Thank you for your reply. I'll check the parameters and then report the result.

Maybe user has no file opened.

List of options in .addin file:

  <!--LoadOnStartUp 1 LoadOnStartUp-->
  <LoadAutomatically>1</LoadAutomatically>

  <!--LoadBehavior  0:Start with Inventor -->
  <!--LoadBehavior  1:Start with part -->
  <!--LoadBehavior  2:Start with assembly -->
  <!--LoadBehavior  3:Start with presentation -->
  <!--LoadBehavior  4:Start with drawing -->
  <!--LoadBehavior 10:On Demand -->

  <LoadBehavior>4</LoadBehavior>
  <UserUnloadable>1</UserUnloadable>
  <Hidden>0</Hidden>
  <SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>15..</SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>

Your screenshot is not from Inventor and its command Tools->Options->Add-ins but from external application AddInMgr.exe located in install folder of Inventor (Like: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2024\Bin\AddInMgr.exe").

Thank you all!

In this case, my user had used the external "AddInMgr.exe" as @Michael.Navara said.

The user used Add-In manager in Inventor and the problem was resolved.
