Running the Product & CAD Configuration Manager for AutoCAD performs the following steps to active the plug-in:
Creates the folders %PROGRAMFILES%\AnsysWB.bundle and %PROGRAMFILES%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\AnsysWB.bundle\Contents\v242\Winx64\AutoCAD
Copies the following folders from the Workbench installation into the bundle's AutoCAD sub-folders:
All files within <Ansys 24.2 Install Path>\aisol\CADIntegration\DWG\winx64 are copied to %PROGRAMFILES%\ApplicationPlugins\AnsysWB.bundle\Contents\v242\winx64\AutoCAD\2013
All files within <Ansys 24.2 Install Path>\aisol\CADIntegration\DWG\images are copied to %PROGRAMFILES%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\AnsysWB.bundle\Contents\v242\winx64\AutoCAD\Resources
All folders within <Ansys 24.2 Install Path>aisol\CADIntegration\DWG\Language are copied to %PROGRAMFILES%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\AnsysWB.bundle\Contents\v242\winx64\AutoCAD\Resources\Language
Finally a %PROGRAMFILES%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\AnsysWB.bundle\PackageContents.XML file is created with the following contents:
