# Skip Loading DLLs

You can prevent Designer from loading certain, mainly native, DLLs from the Plugin folder. This is useful when you use certain DLLs that are not part of the Plugin. For example, there is one Plugin DLL and there are some other ones that the Plugin itself uses in the same folder, and you do not want to load them into Designer as .Net assemblies.

To skip loading a DLL:

1. Place an empty text file next to the DLL that you do not want to load into Designer.
2. Give the text file the same name as the DLL but with .ignore extension. For example, name the text file next to "Arbitrary.ThirdParty.DllName.dll" as "Arbitrary.ThirdParty.DllName.dll.ignore".
