Answer:
DOORSADDINS shows where they are for this instance of DOORS, whether in the registry on in the command line. Use it instead of addins. Whereas 'addins' can be capital or lower case, 'DOORSADDINS' must be all uppercase.

See also DOORSPROJECTADDINS, DOORSLAYOUTADDINS, DOORSATTRRIBUTEADDINS, DOORSDATA etc.

I am trying to figure out how, in dxl, I can determine the location of the "Addins" directory. Let me explain my situation:

My addins directory is located at: C:\Program Files\Telelogic\DOORS 7.1\dxl\lib\addins

When I start DOORS normally and run DXL: print getenv("ADDINS") I get the output as expected:

C:\Program Files\Telelogic\DOORS 7.1\dxl\lib\addins

However, I redirect my addins directory using the CLI switch as follows:

doors -addins "\\some\remote\NAS\Project 1\dxl\addins"

When I run print getenv("ADDINS") I still get: C:\Program Files\Telelogic\DOORS 7.1\dxl\lib\addins

I suppose this is technically correct, but how do I use DXL to find out what the true addins path is for my current session?

Search for ADDINS and DOORSADDINS in this forum for more information. Shortly ADDINS shows the registry definition and DOORSADDINS (undocumented?) show the addins defined on command line.

Thanks guys!

Pekka is right this has been answered not too long ago:

https://forum.telelogic.com/customer/doors/messageview.cfm?catid=17&threadid=9218

I think I found this one when I first searched but didn't pick up that it held the answer I was looking for :S
