When starting 3ds Max in a hybrid debug mode, you will see in the output window whether the symbols are loading for each module. First, remember that even though we are debugging a plugin in 3ds Max, using the production version, we need to use the "hybrid" configuration so that the various run-times are production, and not debug. You can also check/uncheck the symbol servers as a whole to control other servers (like uncheck Microsoft Symbol Servers) if you only want to use 3ds Max symbols.Īfter the setup, you can set breakpoints, and then start debugging. You can hone this down by using the "Only specified modules" but it takes more time to setup and figure out. For example, the default includes Microsoft Symbol Servers, so those will also load as needed. Note this applies to all the symbol locations checked. Select the "All Modules, unless excluded" option to load all the 3ds Max modules during a debug session.If you want to store the symbols offline in a different location from default, enter the location in the "Cache Symbols in this directory".



Hi All, Almost 5 years ago, I wrote the original article here about public debug symbols.
