In this article I wrote about adding files to your AppBundle so that they will be cached on the Design Automation server.

The easiest way to get the "Design Automation for Inventor" Visual Studio Project Template to include additional files in the AppBundle zip file is to add them to the "Bundle" folder, which will be placed next to the "Output" folder that is set for the project's Build ("bin\Debug" by default):

Build Output folderSo the content to be zipped will be in "bin\Bundle" folder and there I can find the "Contents" subfolder best suited for placing my folder with the additional files - in this case called "Parts":   

Folder with additional content

Now after every build of the project the files will be copied into the zip file:
