Maximum options for add-in

Hi all,

I have written add-in which has rather large number of user-specified options. I think there is a limit to number of options user can specify - when I run the add-in with large number of options specified I get "Too many arguments in {add-in command}". Can you confirm? If yes, what is the limit and is there a way around this other than separating the add-in in more than one add-ins?

Thanks!

I believe 96, although there are cases where it can be less.

You could combine multiple options into one, I suppose.

Thanks. I am way less than 96 (approx 20), so it has to be something else.

Hello,

The options limit appears to be 25.

Ah, ok, thanks. Any way to increase it on your part?

Just to follow up on this - the maximum number of options became binding for the SpecEval add-in, which has close to 40 user options, so 25 can be limiting there. Not sure if it is worth addressing on your part, I just wanted to put it in context now that the add-in is out.

Hello,

The next patch will double the options limit, which should accommodate your addin.
