Provides the means to specify which add-ins load at startup, and which load when a document loads.
The available add-ins and their load behaviors are listed in the Add-in Manager dialog box. Add-ins that are not loaded at startup are listed without a load behavior.
You can unload only certain add-ins while in session.
Note: You cannot unload or load an Autodesk Inventor Professional add-in in session. Restart the application for your selection to take effect.
Reasons to unload add-ins
- Reduce the time it takes for your Inventor application to load initially.
- Reduce the memory footprint for the application and increase the capacity for work with larger assemblies. If you experience capacity issues, unload some of the larger add-ins (such as Tube & Pipe, Cable & Harness) that are not used in your design. In most cases, we recommend that you do not unload Autodesk add-ins.
- Correct problems with the application. If you experience problems with Autodesk Inventor, start to unload non-Autodesk add-ins systematically to see if unloading corrects the problems. It is possible for some non-Autodesk Inventor add-ins to be invalid for a current release. Refer to the following default add-in lists to determine which add-ins to remove.
