Installing Plug-In Samples

Use the plug-in samples to familiarize yourself with their programming.

Samples can be found in a separate installation package that you can request from our support team.

Proceed as follows when installing the plug-in samples:

• First, install Innovator

• Extract the ZIP file with the plug-in samples to a local hard drive

• The plug-in class libraries are generated in the plugins subdirectory. Set the PLUGINS_PATH variable to this directory in the Administration Program. The Innovator model editor will then load plug-ins from this directory.

• The files with user options for the Visual Studio projects (extension csproj.user) contain references to the standard Innovator installation directory, \%PROGRAMFILES%\Innovator\16.0. They are required for the following:

  • The start program upon debugging

  • The references to Innovator and ActiPro class libraries

  If Innovator was installed in a different directory, the references must be adjusted to enable the compilation and execution of the samples.

You can find more information about settings in the "Setting-Up Plug-In Projects in Visual Studio" section.
