Readme - Plugin Folder Location #1

Closed Dennis-Eldridge closed 4 years ago

Dennis-Eldridge commented 6 years ago

In the readme the plugin folder is under %programdata% not %appdata%.

But the readme says %appdata%?

Navisworks has multiple load paths for plugins: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/2013/05/navisworks-2014-api-new-feature-one-more-path-to-load-plugin.html

The advantage of choosing the user folder is that you don't have to deal with raised privileges. The disadvantage is that if a PC has multiple accounts, then other accounts will not load the plugin.
