DescriptionAttribute
NOTE
The initial implementation of plug-ins cannot differ-
entiate AutoCAD from an AutoCAD-based product,
so the plug-in should support AutoCAD and all
AutoCAD-based products.
Defines the minimum AutoCAD release number the set
of components supports.
SeriesMin
The value can be a major version number (R18) or a
specific version (R18.2). The AutoCAD version number
can found in the Windows Registry or obtained with the
ACADVER system variable.
If this attribute and SeriesMax are not specified, it is as-
sumed all components are compatible with all AutoCAD
releases. If you omit this value, any version before that
specified by the SeriesMax attribute is allowed.
Defines the maximum AutoCAD release number the set
of components supports.
SeriesMax
If you omit this value, any version after that specified by
the SeriesMin attribute is allowed.
List of support paths used by this set of components
separated by a semicolon. The support paths should be
relative to the plug-in bundle.
SupportPath
Localized support paths can be specified by combining
SupportPath with a locale code. See Supported Locale
Codes (page 100) for a full list of supported locale codes.
ComponentEntry Element
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:
