ReloadAddonLib

Description

Reloads an add-on library previously unloaded with UnloadAddonLib or from the Libraries dialog. The following add-on library types can be reloaded: compiled operators, compiled custom commands, run-time shaders and events.

Tip: You don't really need to reload an add-on explicitly since Softimage automatically reloads it when required. For instance, a compiled operator library is reloaded when an evaluation is required.

Scripting Syntax

    ReloadAddonLib( FileName )

Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
FileName [in/out] | String | The full path of the library to reload. Default Value: A file browser prompts the user for a file if the argument is not provided.
