packagecontents.xml and tool palattes

(1/2) > >>

Shay Gaghe:
Hello,
I am a developer for AutoCAD addons, and I am utilizing the packagecontents.xml mechanism to load my plugin.

My addon includes tool palettes with commands and requires a supporting DWG file.

I've placed the ATC file in \Contents\Resources\ToolPalette along with the necessary supportive DWG file. I'm using the specified syntax in the packagecontents.xml to load them.


--- Code: ---<Components>
<ComponentEntry ModuleName="./Contents/Windows/QuickOutput.dll"  LoadOnAutoCADStartup="True" LoadOnCommandInvocation="True"/>
<RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64|Win32" Platform="AutoCAD*"  SeriesMax="R19.1" SeriesMin="R19.1" SupportPath="./Contents/Resources/ToolPalette" ToolPalettePath="./Contents/Resources/ToolPalette" />
  </Components>

--- End code ---
Can you help me identify what might be missing or incorrect in my approach?

Thanks
Shay
