Symptoms

After following the install instructions to install the Augment3d Vectorworks Plug-in for versions 1.1.x or earlier, the dialog for successful installation appears but after restarting Vectorworks, the plug-in is not actually installed.

Explanation of Issue

Solution for Version 1.2.x or Later

  1. Extract the .vwlbrary file of the plug-in from the initial downloaded ZIP file
  2. Repeat the plug-in install process using the correct version .vwlibrary file for your version of operating system (Windows or macOS)
