Plug-in Question

V_F Thanks I’ll take a look.

I,ve just downloaded Pauls MSTS Plug-in pack and unzipped to the 3DC plugins folder but they don’t show up in the plugins menu.What am I doing wrong? Do they only work with the MSTS wizard?

Paul has produced plug-ins for different versions of 3DC. Which versions did you download ?
That may be the answer as to why they may not be showing in the Plug-Ins drop down box. He also converted some often used plug-ins into object operations as well for the later versions of 3DC, but I can’t think which ones they were at the moment.

The older versions are on his Highworth site and the new ones can be found at

Hi V_F,
I,m running V6.5.0.2 and I downloaded the V6.5 MSTS pack from the plug-Ins section.I’ll take a look at the link you provided.
Thanks Bazza

Well I’ve tried just about everything I can think of but still can’t get the Plug-Ins to show in either the optins or tools/plug-Ins. Anybody else had this problem?

I would completely uninstall 3DC and Upgrade, delete the ‘Amabilis’ folder, re-download 3DC and re-install.

Also, be absolutely certain you install the 6.5 MSTS pack.

Thanks Richard I’ll give it a try. When you say INSTALL the MSTS pack is this just a copy and paste to the plugins folder or is there an actual installation procedure?
Bazza

Hi Bazza,

Yes – ‘install’ for plugins means just copy them into the plugins folder.

You just need the 3DC main file and PRO upgrade installed first.

Thanks Paul,I’ll give it a try.

Well I’ve tried that but still no luck.I uninstalled 3DC and upgrades and deleted all 3DC folders. Re downloaded V6.5 and re-installed. Copied the MSTS plug-ins to the plugin folder but still nothing shows. <!– s:( –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!– s:( –> Any other ideas anybody?
Thanks Bazza

Thanks Bazza[HR][/BLOCKQUOTE]

Did you also clear your registry of 3DC references before re-installing ? I’ve found in the past that this can help in fixing install problems.

Just a thought …. if you look in the Tools/Options menu, do the plugins appear there? and do they have ticks next to them ?

V_F
Thanks, but how do I clear the registry? sounds dangerous!

Paul
No, thats the first thing I thought of nothing in either the Tools/Options or Tools/PlugIns

Thanks Bazza

The 3DC Registry Key is found at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/VB and VBA Program Settings/3DC

You can delete this Key before re-installing 3DC. The registry entry will be re-created next install and use of the various ops. <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>
