Example: Basic .bundle Folder Structure for a Plug-in

This example reflects what a package for a plug-in might contain and how it is structured on disk.

.bundle is not a file, but a folder name with a BUNDLE extension. The following is an example of a plug-in that contains a LSP file as the main program and a DWG support file. The following plug-in example is named OfficeSymbols and its folder structure might look something like; folders are in bold:

OfficeSymbols.bundle

  |- PackageContents.xml

  |- Contents

      |- OfficeSymbolsUtilities.lsp

      |- Resources

            |- OfficeSymbols.dwg

            |- OfficeSymbols.ico

            |- OfficeSymbols.htm

File name	Description
OfficeSymbols.bundle	The folder containing the files for a plug-in and has the BUNDLE extension.
PackageContents.xml	XML file that contains metadata about the plug-in.
OfficeSymbolsUtilities.lsp	Example of a custom application file that might define the behavior of the plug-in. An application file can be an AutoLISP, ObjectARX, or .NET assembly file. Note: AutoCAD LT doesn't support ObjectARX and .NET assembly files.
OfficeSymbols.dwg	DWG file that contains symbols used by the functionality defined in OfficeSymbolsUtilities.lsp.
OfficeSymbols.ico	Icon used by the App Manager and Autodesk App Store website.
