Got it! I was trying to load the COM elements instead of the dll's directly. Loading the dll's worked! Thanks, Norman!

Where did you get the SDK for 2011?

The SDK on the download page is for AutoCAD 2011.

Thanks for all your help, Norman. I downloaded the SDK for 2010 and added the
acax18enu.tlb and axdb18enu.tlb , but they still point to the AutoCAD 2011
dll's. I'm giving up for now and uninstalling 2011 so I can get back to work.

Thank you everyone for your help!

Thought I would add that I followed these directions with success.

What happens when sheet sets get thrown into the mix? I've got AutoCAD 2010 and 2011 installed on the machine, and i've downloaded both the 2010 and 2011 SDK's. When I add a reference to "acsmcomponents18.tlb" in the 2010 SDK, it automatically adds a reference to Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common due to dependancies, however for some reason it insists on referencing the 2011 version "C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common\18.1.0.0...".  If i try to remove this reference and instead reference Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common from the 2010 SDK, I get compiler errors like this:

The project currently contains references to more than one version of Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common, a direct reference to version 18.0.0.0 and an indirect reference (through 'ACSMCOMPONENTS18Lib.IAcSmSheetSet.Sync') to version 18.1.0.0. Change the direct reference to use version 18.1.0.0 (or higher) of Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.

 I'm hesitant that if i change the direct reference to the version in the 2011 SDK, the application will no longer run on AutoCAD 2011. Any ideas on how I could get this work on both 2010 and 2011 without compiling different versions (for both 32-bit and 64-bit!). Is this just some problem with the sheet set COM API?

Thanks,

Did you try removing the reference to AXDBLib from your project?

I have a project that uses AcSmComponents18 and I was able

to remove the reference to AXDBLib and compile and run it

without errors.

I would....unfortunately i'm making use of a method that requires a loaded AcadDatabase(ACSMCOMPONENTS18Lib.AcSmSheetSetClass.Sync(Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcadDatabase) so even if i eliminated all other other code using ObectDBX i'd still need to keep the reference.

It is supposed to be fixed with the update 1 for 2011

What specifically is supposed to be fixed? I guess I still don't completely understand the problem....

Thanks everyone btw.

Quote from ADN

Unfortunately, the AutoCAD 2011 installer does not install the AutoCAD 2010 version (18.0.0.0) of the Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.dll. This has already been logged and is supposed to be remedied in the oncoming Update 1 for AutoCAD 2011.
