Install plug-ins to extend or customize Showcase behavior and appearance. Plug-ins are only loaded when Showcase starts up
and cannot be unloaded while Showcase is running. There are two methods of controlling which plug-ins are loaded:
- By placing the plug-in source file (.py) in the Showcase preferences directory which is where the userPrefs.xml file is located; for example, C:\My Documents\Autodesk Showcase 2011.
- By using the plug-in manager dialog box, accessible from the menu at . The plug-in manager tracks the plug-ins in a file called plugins.xml which is in the same directory as userPrefs.xml.
