Hi,

As far as I know, you cannot use the autoloader from a different folder of those provided by Autodesk:
- %appdata%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
- %programfiles%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
- %programdata%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins

If you have rights to write in the registry, you can register your application:

Excellent forum, Thnkx for uploading the important material. I found it useful. Best regards !!

A dropshipper is a person or company who will earn a commission by passing orders on to the actual manufacturer of a product. Such a person or company can be a retailer or an agent. The goods ordered by the customer will be directly drop shipped from the manufacturer to their home. As a result, the agent will not have to keep diversified stock of the inventory.
