I made a TagData plugin according to lookatcamera.cpp
from the cinema4dsdk examples.
It does inititialize (console output) but it has
no menu entry when right-clicking on an object.

How is it placed there? How to create a sub-menu
like "cinema4dsdk"? I couldn't find any appropriate
source in the sdk examples, that opens such a sub-menu
for the lookatcameraTag.

Seems do be done through magic...

You can hide the tag in the ObjectManager File and object context menu using the PLUGINFLAG_HIDEPLUGINMENU flag in RegisterTagPlugin(). This is useful when the tag is programmatically created and should not be added by users, but it will not display.

Does it show in the ObjectManager File menu? If not, then it is truly failing some place.

The failure was so simple!
Since 1 .cdl is build of two plugins,
I only used 1 Plugin ID . But both
plugins need their own ID.
Shame on me!

Now the Tag shows without a sub-menu
in the OM. Thank you for you answer!

Great that you found it!

Yes, you will need a Plugin ID for every plugin you 'Register' in the .cdl. I'm up to eight in mine!

Good luck and Takc care,
