The managing node option allows you to import and store or remove a generated node type. It enables you to share node types across teams and to clean up the node types if previously generated node types are no longer needed.

The Add-ins dialog helps you load Project add-ins as well as Bentley Product add-ins and set an assembly file to be stored under current design file or share it across by storing it in GC environment. An assembly is a *.dll file that can have one or more node types defined in it.

Setting	Description
Your Project Add-ins	Opens the folder location of project assemblies where you can select assembly that needs to be loaded in the application. These assemblies ( .DLL files) are those are generated using the ( Generate Node Type).
Add-ins Loaded	Lists the Add-ins loaded in the session. Each file can be marked to store within current design file and/or share the node types across workgroup. Assembly File – Indicate the name of the assembly file. This is also prefixed with the namespace, if any assigned to it. Store in Current Design File – When checked, the loaded assembly attributes scope within the current design file.
