ReloadAddonLib

Description

Reloads an add-on library previously unloaded with UnloadAddonLib or from the Libraries dialog. The following add-on library types can be reloaded: compiled operators, compiled custom commands, run-time shaders and events.

Tip: You don't really need to reload an add-on explicitly since Softimage automatically reloads it when required. For instance, a compiled operator library is reloaded when an evaluation is required.

Scripting Syntax

ReloadAddonLib( FileName );

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
FileName String The full path of the library to reload.

Default Value: A file browser prompts the user for a file if the argument is not provided.
