The Additional Extension Folders option defines the additional folders in which ACT searches for the extensions that the Extension Manager is to display. You can define several folder names, separating them with a semicolon (;).
Folders that you define here are added to your ApplicationData
folder:
%APPDATA%\Ansys\v242\ACT\extensions.
Because these folders are searched for extensions by default, the Extension Manager displays any extensions located in them.
Note: The default folders are not searched recursively. Because extensions stored in subdirectories are not found, store your extensions at the top level of the directory.
During this process, warning messages are returned for any conflicts. These messages are logged in the Extensions Log File.
Note: The Additional Extension Folders option is also available when you click the gear icon in the graphic-based Extension Manager.
