Speckle Add-In Is Not Showing Up In AutoCAD

Help

I have tried multiple times with the Manager to load Speckle onto AutoCAD. The connector is not showing under the Add-Ins tab. Please help.

After installing with Manager, do you see the addon bundles at %APPDATA%\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins ?

Manager, by default, installs as a single user. Are you on a machine where a user profile is blocked from installing, but an admin user is not?

I was able to use NETLOAD and force it following this community post - AutoCAD connector not appearing in Adds-in tab

Thanks for reporting your success @David_Messner . Nevertheless, I have looked into this a little, as while this is only the second report resolved this way in two years, it suggests a machine-specific issue; it clearly could be affecting users who don’t bother to report.

Either:

  • AutoCAD Didn’t Detect the Plugin in ApplicationPlugins (running PLUGINS or APPLOAD might reveal something or at least confirm negative
  • If Speckle is the only plugin you have, then perhaps the ApplicationPlugins isn’t in the Trusted Paths - this seems unlikely, but TRSUTEDPATHS could confirm
  • If SECURELOAD is set to 1 or 2 it may have been blocked - again seems unlikely but can be checked
  • Might you have tried installing Speckle in the pas,t and there is a remnant in the plugins folder causing self-conflicts - unknown, but easy to check

BUT - you have Speckle working so only check any of these things if you feel like feeding back, I don’t want to burden you with unknown work.
