External .Net Assemblies can be called by internal scripts, including global or private assemblies. Which assemblies are made available to script-writers is determined by the Script Administrator.
All allowed assemblies must resolve properly each time any script is executed, even if the executed script does not use an assembly.
It is the responsibility of the Script Administrator to ensure that all assemblies properly resolve, or to remove invalid assemblies from the list.
Script Configuration
You can add .Net Assemblies using the Script Configuration dialog. To access this dialog, use the menu Document>ScriptConfig.
If you do not have the Script Administrator user privilege, this menu option will be disabled.
If your assemblies are in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), then you do not need to include the full path with the assembly name.
