Packaging Your Custom Menu

 
 
 

When you are ready to share your menu with others, there are two ways to deliver your plug-in:

File type

Description

*.dll/so file or *.vbs/js/pls/py

Any support files (for example, extra libraries) that your custom menu callbacks may need to call while running.

*.spdl file and/or *.preset file

If you call a dialog or any custom property page in your script that you want to remain in the scene, you need to provide either a SPDL file with the definition and a preset file to create the dialog, or a self-installing custom property.

For more information on self-installing properties, see Custom Properties.

*.html/htm/chm/hlp (or ReadMe.txt file)

If you provide a help page (or site) that can help explain the usage of your menu, you should package it with the rest of your menu

*.jpg/gif/bmp/ico

Any image files that may be required for your dialogs or your help pages.
