The available add-ins and their load behaviors are listed in the Add-in Manager dialog box. Add-ins that are not loaded at startup are listed without a load behavior.
When an add-in is unloaded, its functionality is not available. However, all translator add-ins (such as DXF, DWF, and DWG) automatically load when that format is selected when doing a Save Copy As. By default, the translators are not loaded at startup.
Why to unload add-ins
- Reduce the time it takes to load the application initially.
- Reduce the memory footprint for the application and increase the capacity.
- Some non-Autodesk Inventor LT add-ins can be invalid for a current release. If you experience problems with Autodesk Inventor LT, unload non-Autodesk add-ins systematically to see if the problems are corrected. Refer to the default add-in lists to determine which add-ins to remove.

- In Autodesk Inventor LT, on the ribbon, click
. - In the Add-in Manager dialog box, double-click the name in the list to switch between Loaded and Unloaded or between Startup/Loaded and Startup/Unloaded.
- Click OK.
- On the Windows Start menu, select Programs Autodesk Autodesk Inventor LT [version] Tools Add-in Manager.
- In the Add-in Manager dialog box, double-click the name in the list to switch between Loaded and Unloaded or between Startup/Loaded and Startup/Unloaded.
- Click OK.
- Restart the application for your changes to take effect.
Increase computer performance
It is sometimes possible to increase performance. Systematically perform these steps:
- Cancel the Load at Startup option for each of the add-ins.
- Unload each of the add-ins.
- Unload the larger add-ins (such as Tube & Pipe, Cable & Harness) not used in your design. In most cases, we recommend that you do not unload Autodesk add-ins.
Lists the Autodesk Inventor LT add-ins that are installed on the system, and provides the means to load and unload add-ins.
Sort the list by name or load behavior by clicking the column header. Press CTRL + click to select multiple items on the list.
Available Add-Ins and Load Behavior
Lists the installed add-ins with their load behavior: Loaded, Unloaded, Startup/Loaded, and Startup/Unloaded.
Lists add-ins without a load behavior if they are not loaded at startup.
