How To: Manually Install A Plugin

Plugins downloaded for the current version of DriveWorks will be installed automatically. However there may be occasions where a plugin needs to be manually installed. These include:

• Your own custom plugins

These can be installed by following the steps below.

1. Click the Install... button at the bottom of the plugin settings window.
2. Browse to the location of your plugin file (this will be a file with the extension .dll).
3. Click Open.
4. The plugin will be loaded into DriveWorks.
