Hello,

I have downloaded one plugin from Autodesk Apps. Store so where did the application located on my computer ?

I searched for it but with no avail although searching in Windows 10 is very slow and failure in all ways.

I am using AutoCAD 2020 and Windows 10 if this matters.

 

Thank you

Hi,

 

It may depends on the plug-in.
If the plug-in installation uses the Autoloader mechanism (as recommended by Autodesk) the app should be in a directory of one of the ApplicationPlugin folders:

  • %APPDATA%/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins
  • %ProgramFiles%/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins
  • %ProgramFiles%/Autodesk/ApplicationPlugins

If not, you should directly ask to the publisher.

Thank you.

Yes the installation uses the Autoloader mechanism, but what does the two percentage symbols ( %APPDATA% ) mean in this case ?

This is a shortcut for: "C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming", you can directly enter %appdata% in the adress bar of your browser

Yes this path is existed but it does not have the applications that I downloaded from Apps. Store.

C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins

 

I am trying to search for *.bundle but it comes up with empty result. too strange !

%appdata%\Autodesk\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins is the folder for current user applications

%ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins or %ProgramData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins may be used for all users applications.

 

Does the installed plug-in work?

Can you see it in the control panel (Programs and functionalities)?

Yes, I have installed two Applications and both are working normally, and they are available in the Control Panel as well.

Sorry, only the path that I brought in my last reply is correct / existed but the applications are not there.

 

I used to see the application when I was using Windows 7 very easily but with Windows 10 things are going ridiculously complicated for nothing.

You should be able to find the path in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R23.0\ACAD-2001:409\Applications\<AppName>, LOADER.
