2020 Plug-In Manager

[corbinhand]

I am having an issue saving customizations to the built in Plug Ins in VW Spotlight 2020. Specifically, I am trying to add cable options to the cable tools. Have done this in the past (on VW2019) without issue, only 2020 seems to be giving me problems. Once I close the plug in manager, nothing seems to save. 

 

Any thoughts?

Check the permissions on your plug-ins folder. By default the entire application folder is read-only.

You are correct! Now I have a new issue, where windows is not saving the change and reverts back to read only...🤦‍♂️

For those experiencing windows files that keep reverting to read only:

I had to use command prompt to remove the folder attributes. A real pain in the neck, but it solved the issue.

I created a new plug-in file for it to look at and Vectorworks is overwriting the the Read-only status everytime.  Has there been a fix found for this yet?
