Components Element Reference

    Components Element Reference

    The Components element is used to specify the components that make up one version of the plug-in.

    More than one Components element can be used to identify the components for a plug-in; each Components element can identify one or more components. Platform and product information for
    a Components element is defined with the RuntimeRequirements element.

    If all the components defined within a Components element apply to the same platform, you do not need to add a RuntimeRequirements element to each individual ComponentEntry element.

    Along with the RuntimeRequirements element, the Components element can contain one or more of the following elements

    • ComponentEntry
    • RegistryEntries
    • SystemVariables
    • EnvironmentVariables
    NOTE:A Components element can only have one RegistryEntries, SystemVariables, and EnvironmentVariables elements but can contain multiple ComponentEntry elements.

    The following outlines the basic relationship of the Components element and any elements it can contain.

    <Components
      <RuntimeRequirements ... /
    
      <RegistryEntries
        <RegistryEntry ... /
      </RegistryEntries
    
      <SystemVariables
        <SystemVariable ... /
      </SystemVariables
    
      <EnvironmentVariables
        <EnvironmentVariable ... /
      </EnvironmentVariables
    
      <ComponentEntry ... 
        <RuntimeRequirements ... /
      </ComponentEntry
    
      <ComponentEntry ... /
    
      <Commands ...
        <Command ... /
      </Commands
    </Components

    ComponentEntry Element – Supported in AutoCAD 2013-based products and later

    The ComponentEntry element is required and is used to specify details about each individual component
    in the Components element.

    You can specify as many ComponentEntry elements as needed. Component types can be one of the following file formats:

    Windows and Mac OS

    • AutoLISP (LSP)
    • AutoLISP Fastload (FAS)
    • ObjectARX (ARX)
    • ObjectDBX (DBX)

    Windows only

    • Compiled AutoLISP Project/Visual LISP (VLX)
    • Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML)
    • JavaScript (JS)
    • Managed or Mixed Mode .NET Assembly (DLL)
    • Partial Customization (CUI/CUIx)
    • Tool Palette (ATC)
    • VBA Project (DVB)

    A ComponentEntry element may contain a Commands element if the LoadReasons attribute is set to LoadOnCommandInvocation.

    NOTE:ComponentEntry elements are loaded in the order they are listed, but from the bottom up. Therefore,
    any files that other components are dependent on must be lower down the list. For
    example, if an ObjectARX module is dependent on an ObjectDBX module, then the ObjectARX
    module will need to appear above the ObjectDBX module in the list.

    A ComponentEntry element can have any of the following attributes attached to it:

    Attribute

    Description

    AppName

    Optional for AutoLISP; Required for ObjectARX and .NET – Component name; same as AppName in the ObjectARX API AcadAppInfo class.

    AppDescription

    Component description; same as AppDescription in the ObjectARX API AcadAppInfo class.

    AppType

    Component type; overrides the type derived from the file extension provided in the
    ModuleName attribute.

    The component type can be one of the following:

    • .Net – Managed or Mixed .NET assembly
    • Arx – ObjectARX
      NOTE:Required to load an ARX file from a bundle into AutoCAD for Mac.

    • Atc – Tool palette
    • Bundle – Bundle package
    • Cui or CuiX – Partial customization
    • Dbx – ObjectDBX
    • Dependency – Resource DLL (not to be loaded into the AutoCAD-based product)
    • JavaScript – JavaScript
    • Lisp or CompiledLisp – AutoLISP/Visual LISP
    • Mnu – Menu customization
    • VBA – VBA Project
    • Xaml – XAML file used to implement a contextual ribbon tab

    ModuleName

    Relative path to the component within the bundle; same as ModuleName in the ObjectARX API AcadAppInfo class.

    The component type is determined from the file extension:

    • .atc – Tool palette
    • .arx – ObjectARX
    • .cuix – Partial customization
    • .dbx – ObjectDBX
    • .dll – Managed .NET assembly
    • .dvb – VBA Project (AutoCAD 2015-based products and later)
      NOTE:DVB files require the VBA Enabler to be installed first. When loaded, the user needs
      to click “Enable Macros” before the project and its macros can be accessed.

    • .js – Javascript (AutoCAD 2015-based products and later)
    • .lsp, .fas, or .vlx – AutoLISP/Visual LISP
    • .xaml – Extensible Application Markup Language (AutoCAD 2015-based products and later)
      NOTE:Attribute XamlType must be set to “ContextualTabRule”

    If your application will handle multiple languages, different versions of a specific
    component can be specified by combining ModuleName with a locale code. See Supported Locale Codes Reference for a full list of supported
    locale codes.

    NOTE:All path specifiers are ‘/’ and not ”, and paths are relative to the root .bundle folder.

    PerDocument

    AutoLISP only – When True, the AutoLISP file is loaded once per document. Default
    is True.

    Loadreasons

    Multiple values can be specified – Defines the load behavior parameters for the component
    with LoadReasons and the exception of the LoadOnCommandInvocation parameter.

    By default, LoadOnAutoCADStartup, LoadOnAppearance, and LoadOnProxy are enabled (set to True) if LoadReasons is not specified. If parameters need to be disabled (set to False), the LoadReasons element must be specified along with the parameters set to False.

    By default, LoadOnCommandInvocation is disabled, enabling it will disable LoadOnAutoCADStartup and LoadOnAppearance unless they are explicitly enabled. If one or more Command elements is defined as
    part of the Components element, LoadOnCommandInvocation is implicitly enabled.

    See the ObjectARX Reference VCade for full details on AcadAppInfo LoadReasons.

    Valid parameter values:

    • True – Parameter is enabled
    • False – Parameter is disabled

    The following parameters are available:

    • LoadOnCommandInvocation. Load only when a custom commands is invoked. When using this parameter, a â€کCommands’
      element must be included. If LoadOnCommandInvocation is enabled, LoadOnAutoCADStartup and LoadOnAppearance are assumed to be disabled unless explicitly enabled. Only applies to AutoLISP, ObjectARX,
      and .NET modules.

      NOTE:For startup performance reasons, it is very important to use this option when your
      components define commands.

    • LoadOnAutoCADStartup. Load when the AutoCAD-based product starts up. When specified, this parameter has
      precedence over all other parameters. It is recommended only to use LoadOnAutoCADStartup when none of the other parameters are suitable, disable it (set it to False) whenever
      possible. If the LoadOnAutoCADStartup parameter is omitted, then it defaults to enabled (set to True) unless LoadOnCommandInvocation is enabled, in which case LoadOnAutoCADStartup defaults to False. Only applies to ObjectARX and .NET modules.
    • LoadOnProxy. Load when a proxy for a custom entity is detected. By default, this parameter is
      enabled unless explicitly disabled (set to False). When enabled (set to True), LoadOnAutoCADStartup should be disabled. Only applies to ObjectDBX files.
    • LoadOnAppearance. Load when the product detects the application bundle in one of the ApplicationPlugins folders, thereby supporting instant load on installation with no need to restart
      the AutoCAD-based product. The parameter behaves the same way as LoadOnAutoCADStartup except the load context is relevant to when an application is installed while the
      product is running, for instance if installed via the Autodesk Exchange Apps website.

    XamlType

    XAML type; currently the only supported value is “ContextualTabRule” and it is required
    when a XAML file is assigned to the ModuleName attribute. The application file that uses the XAML file should be listed after the
    ComponentEntry element that contains the XAML file.

    RegistryEntries Element – Supported in AutoCAD 2015-based products and later

    The RegistryEntries element is optional, and can contain one or more RegistryEntry elements. A RegistryEntry element contains the definition of a registry entry that the plug-in should create
    or modify. Registry entries are stored in the Windows Registry or in a property list
    (PLIST) file on Mac OS.

    NOTE:On Windows, registry entries are created under HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskAutoCAD<releaseACAD-<product:<language. It is not possible to create registry entries in other locations. The equivalent
    location is used in the PLIST files on Mac OS.

    RegistryEntry Element

    Attribute

    Description

    Name

    Name of the registry entry to create or modify.

    Value

    Value to assign to the registry entry.

    The value can include one of the optional operator prefixes: +, , &, and |.

    See the “Variable Value Operator Prefixes” section for more information.

    NOTE:The operator prefix is not retained when the value is applied to the registry entry.

    Type

    Data type to assign to the registry entry. Optional when modifying an existing registry
    entry.

    Valid values are:

    • REG_SZ – String; null terminated
    • REG_EXPAND_SZ – String containing an unexpanded environment variable, such as %APPDATA%; null terminated
    • REG_DWORD – ۳۲-bit unsigned integer
    • REG_QWORD – ۶۴-bit signed integer

    If an operator prefix is used as part of the registry entry’s value, the appropriate
    data type must be specified. If the appropriate data type is not used, the operation
    will be treated as a string operation.

    Flags

    Optional, creation and modification flags. Multiple flags can be specified; use a
    pipe symbol to separate each flag.

    The following flags are supported:

    • Create – Registry entry is created if it does not exist. (Default behavior)
    • Open – Modifies the value of the registry entry each time the plug-in is loaded, and only
      when the registry entry exists.
    • OpenOnce – Modifies the value of the registry entry upon the very first time the plug-in is
      loaded, and only when the registry entry exists. Uninstalling and reinstalling the
      plug-in causes the value of the registry entry to be changed again.
    NOTE:The Open or OpenOnce flag must be used to modify the value of a registry entry.

    The following example creates the registry key MYREGKEY and adds the values STRING
    and NUMBER:

    <RegistryEntries
        <RegistryEntry
            Key="MYREGKEY"
            Name="STRING"
            Value="Example"
            Type="REG_SZ"
        /
    
        <RegistryEntry
            Key="MYREGKEY"
            Name="NUMBER"
            Value="123"
            Type="REG_DWORD"
        /
    </RegistryEntries

    SystemVariables Element – Supported in AutoCAD 2015-based products and later

    The SystemVariables element is optional, and can contain one or more SystemVariables elements. A SystemVariable element contains the definition of a system variable that the plug-in should create
    or modify.

    SystemVariable Element

    Attribute

    Description

    Name

    Name of the system variable to create or modify.

    Value

    Value to assign to the variable.

    The value can include one of the optional operator prefixes: +, , &, and |.

    See the “Variable Value Operator Prefixes” section for more information.

    NOTE:The operator prefix is not retained when the value is applied to the variable.

    PrimaryType

    Data type to assign to the variable. Optional when modifying an existing system variable.

    Valid values are:

    • Int16 – ۱۶-bit signed integer
    • Int32 – ۳۲-bit integer
    • Real – Float or double numeric value
    • String – Single or multiple character value

    If an operator prefix is used as part of the variable’s value, the appropriate data
    type must be specified. If the appropriate data type is not used, the operation will
    be treated as a string operation.

    StorageType

    Storage location for the variable’s value; when persisted. Optional when modifying
    an existing system variable.

    Valid values are:

    • Database – Persisted in the drawing file the variable is created
    • Profile – Persisted as part of the current AutoCAD profile
    • Session – Not retained between sessions or in the drawing it is created
    • User – Persisted as part of the FixedProfile for AutoCAD

    Owner

    Optional, AcRX service name.

    Used to make a system variable read-only and only modifiable by the application that
    registers the service name using acrxRegisterService().

    Flags

    Optional, creation and modification flags. Multiple flags can be specified; use a
    pipe symbol to separate each flag.

    The following flags are supported:

    • Create – Variable is created if it does not exist. (Default behavior)

    • Open – Modifies the value of the variable each time the plug-in is loaded, and only when
      the variable exists.

    • OpenOnce – Modifies the value of the variable upon the very first time the plug-in is loaded,
      and only when the variable exists. Uninstalling and reinstalling the plug-in causes
      the value of the variable to be changed again.

    • SpacesAllowed – Allows for the pressing of the Spacebar at the Command prompt. If not specified,
      pressing the Spacebar is the same as pressing Enter.

      NOTE:Use only with the Create flag and when the PrimaryType attribute is set to String.

    • DotIsEmpty – Allows for the clearing of a variable’s value by entering a “.” (period) for the
      value of the variable.

      NOTE:Use only with the Create flag and when the PrimaryType attribute is set to String.

    • NoUndo – Changes to the variable are not recorded and cannot be undone with the U or UNDO
      commands.

      NOTE:Use only with the Create flag.

    • Chatty – Triggers a reactor notification even when the value of the variable is set to its
      current value.

      NOTE:Use only with the Create flag.

    NOTE:The Open or OpenOnce flag must be used to modify the value of a variable.

    The following example creates a system variable named MYVARIABLE:

    <SystemVariable
        Name="MYVARIABLE"
        PrimaryType="String"
        StorageType="User"
        Value="Example"
        Owner=""
        Flags="Create|DotIsEmpty|SpacesAllowed"
    /

    The following example changes the value of the CURSORSIZE system variable to 100 when
    the plug-in is loaded the first time:

    <SystemVariable
        Name="CURSORSIZE"
        Value="100"
        Flags="OpenOnce"
    /

    EnvironmentVariables Element – Supported in AutoCAD 2015-based products and later

    The EnvironmentVariables element is optional, and can contain one or more EnvironmentVariable elements. A EnvironmentVariable element contains the definition of an environment variable that the plug-in should
    create or modify. Environment variables are stored in the Windows Registry or in a
    property list (PLIST) file on Mac OS.

    NOTE:The value of an environment variable is always stored as a string, and the name of
    an environment variable is case sensitive.

    EnvironmentVariable Element

    Attribute

    Description

    Name

    Name of the environment variable to create or modify.

    Value

    Value to assign to the variable.

    The value can include one of the optional operator prefixes: +, , &, and |.

    See the “Variable Value Operator Prefixes” section for more information.

    NOTE:The operator prefix is not retained when the value is applied to the variable.

    Type

    Optional, data type that Value represents.

    Valid values are:

    • Int16 – ۱۶-bit signed integer
    • Int32 – ۳۲-bit signed integer
    • Real – Float or double numeric value
    • String – Single or multiple character value

    If an operator prefix is used as part of the variable’s value, the appropriate data
    type must be specified. If the appropriate data type is not used, the operation will
    be treated as a string operation.

    Flags

    Optional, creation and modification flags. Multiple flags can be specified; use a
    pipe symbol to separate each flag.

    The following flags are supported:

    • Create – Variable is created if it does not exist. (Default behavior)
    • Open – Modifies the value of the variable each time the plug-in is loaded, and only when
      the variable exists.
    • OpenOnce – Modifies the value of the variable upon the very first time the plug-in is loaded,
      and only when the variable exists. Uninstalling and reinstalling the plug-in causes
      the value of the variable to be changed again.
    NOTE:The Open or OpenOnce flag must be used to modify the value of a variable.

    The following is an example of creating two environment variables named MYNUMVAR and
    MYSTRVAR:

    <EnvironmentVariables
        <EnvironmentVariable
            Name="MYNUMVAR"
            Value="123"
        /
    
        <EnvironmentVariable
            Name="MYSTRVAR"
            Value="Example"
        /
    </EnvironmentVariables

    Operator Prefixes for Variable Values

    Operator prefixes are used to modify the current value of a variable when the plug-in
    is loaded. You can add one of the operator prefixes listed in the following table
    to the Value attribute of a RegistryEntry, SystemVariable, or EnvironmentVariable element.

    Prefix

    Description

    + (plus sign)

    Adds or appends a value to an existing variable’s value.

    Int16, Int32, Real: Adds Value to an existing variable’s value.

    String: Appends Value to an existing variable’s value.

    – (hyphen)

    Subtracts or removes a value to an existing variable’s value.

    Int16, Int32, Real: Subtracts Value from an existing variable’s value.

    String: Removes Value from an existing variable’s value.

    & (ampersand)

    Bitwise-and operation with the existing value of the variable; only numeric values
    are supported.

    | (pipe symbol)

    Bitwise-or operation with the existing value of the variable; only numeric values
    are supported.

    NOTE:If the value of a variable is supposed to start with one of the operator prefixes,
    add a backslash before the operator. For example, if the variable’s value is supposed
    to be +radius, enter the value as +radius.

    The following always enables the END, MID, CEN, NOD, QUA, and INT running object snaps,
    and leaves all other object snap settings as-is:

    <SystemVariable
        Name="OSMODE"
        Value="|63"
        Flags="Open"
    /

    Commands Element – Supported in AutoCAD 2013-based products and later

    The Commands element is optional unless the LoadOnCommandInvocation parameter is enabled for the LoadReasons attribute. Used to specify which commands to register for LoadOnCommandInvocation.

    You can specify more than one Command element as needed.

    A Commands element can have the following attribute attached to it:

    Attribute

    Description

    GroupName

    Name used to organize related commands.

    Command Element – Supported in AutoCAD 2013-based products and later

    Commands can be defined for multiple languages by combining Local with a locale code. See Supported Locale Codes Reference for a full list of supported
    locale codes.

    HelpTopic

    Help topic to open when the command is active and F1 is pressed.

    NOTE:To display the help topic, a help file must be assigned to the plug-in. The help file
    location for the plug-in is specified with the HelpFile attribute under the ApplicationPackage element.

    StartupCommand

    Executes the command at startup when True.
