does not load .dll in AutoCAD in Spanish

[ccalvo12]

Hello,
I do not know if it has happened to them that when trying to load automatically .dll assemblies on AutoCAD in Spanish or another language that is not English, it does not load.

All good with the English version, even using the command NETLOAD on AutoCAD in Spanish works well, the problem is with the automatic load.

Is there anything missing in the PackageContents.xml?

Hi,

 If you want somebody helps you, you should show the PackageContents.xml file.

Hello, I base myself on the following:

This is the minimalist PackageContents I use to use (mainly with French AutoCAD versions):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApplicationPackage
  SchemaVersion="1.0"
  AppVersion="1.0.0"
  ProductCode="{83F90232-3CEB-40F0-88BE-2638C843CEA5}"
  UpgradeCode="{B31D4C65-464B-4460-9E9F-B36D7B1C453A}"
  Name="Trapezoid"
  AutodeskProduct="AutoCAD"
  ProductType="Application">
  <Components>
    <RuntimeRequirements OS="Win32|Win64" Platform="AutoCAD*" SeriesMin="R19.0" SeriesMax="R23.0" />
    <ComponentEntry
      AppName="Trapezoid"
      Version="1.0.0"
      ModuleName="./Contents/Trapezoid.dll"
      LoadOnAutoCADStartup="True">
    </ComponentEntry>
  </Components>
</ApplicationPackage>

Hi, I have tried various ways to modify the PackageContents.xml and it still does not load automatically. The funny thing is that when you run AutoCAD in Spanish the AutoCAD security message appears, so this makes me suppose that the PackageContents is fine. So where could the problem be?

What happens if you click "Cargar siempre" or "Cargar una vez" ?

Hi @ccalvo12,

First of all, I strictly followed the article Autodesk Autoloader White Paper and my scenario has several AutoCAD Plant 3d (2018, 2019 and 2020) in Brazilian Portuguese; for your AutoCAD custom plugin I suggest you follow this XML format for PackageContents.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApplicationPackage SchemaVersion="1.0" AutodeskProduct="AutoCAD" Name="CorporationName Custom Commands" Description="CorporationName Custom Commands" AppVersion="12.2.1.0" FriendlyVersion="12.2.1.0" ProductType="Application" SupportedLocales="Enu" AppNameSpace="appstore.exchange.autodesk.com" Author="CorporationName" ProductCode="{206a6123-bd95-44d2-bcce-2c9667050c29}" UpgradeCode="{a945e5cc-bcf3-4534-8e27-86415b2cd7f7}" OnlineDocumentation="http://www.teewe.com.br/br/">
  <CompanyDetails Name="CorporationName" Url="http://www.teewe.com.br/br/" Email="contato@corporation.com" />
  <RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="AutoCAD*" SeriesMin="R19.1" SeriesMax="R23.1" />
  <Components Description="Windows parts">
    <RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="AutoCAD*" SeriesMin="R19.1" SeriesMax="R23.1" />
    <ComponentEntry AppName="Corporation.AssemblyNamespace" Version="12.2.1.0" ModuleName="Corporation.AssemblyName.dll" AppDescription="CorporationName Custom Commands" LoadOnCommandInvocation="true">
      <Commands GroupName="GROUP_NAME_COMMANDS">
        <Command Local="COMMAND_1" Global="COMMAND_1" StartupCommand="false" />
        <Command Local="COMMAND_STARTUP" Global="COMMAND_STARTUP" StartupCommand="true" />
        <Command Local="COMMAND_2" Global="COMMAND_2" StartupCommand="false" />
        <Command Local="COMMAND_A" Global="COMMAND_A" StartupCommand="false" />
        <Command Local="COMMAND_B" Global="COMMAND_B" StartupCommand="false" />
      </Commands>
    </ComponentEntry>
  </Components>
  <DisplayInAppManager>false</DisplayInAppManager>
</ApplicationPackage>

And check if the DLLs and PackageContents.xml stay at C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplictionPlugins\YourPluginName.Bundle

After, open your AutoCAD; when SecuriyDialog appear, click on "Cargar Siempre":

Att,
