Navigate into the extracted folder (usually YQArch > sys) to find the setup.exe. 3. Making the Connection There are two main ways to introduce the plugin to AutoCAD:

  • Dropping the folder on a network share
  • Using a script to append the support paths via registry (HKCU\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.3\ACAD-xxxx:xxx\Profiles\...\SupportPath)
  • Deploying a pre-written acaddoc.lsp that contains:
    (if (findfile "YQArch.VLX") (load "YQArch.VLX"))
    

B) Manual loading (if ribbon missing)

Method 1 – Load using APPLOAD

Method B – Using Installer (If provided)

  • Run yqarch_installer.exe as administrator.
  • Follow prompts to select AutoCAD version.
  • Installer automatically copies files and registers the startup script.
  1. The "Secure Load" Issue: Newer versions of AutoCAD block unsigned plugins for security.
