App that works in 06 dose not in 07

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody –


I have AC2006 and 2007 installed on my PC. I can’t get any apps to run in 07 not even the samples from the ObjectARX 2007 SDK.


I wrote a test app that just loads a toolpalette
Works in 06 but not in 07

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.ToolPalette;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;



namespace Mynamespace
{
public class acCommancds
{
static Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet ps;
[CommandMethodAttribute("medload")]public void LOADMEDIA()
{
ps = new Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet("HKS - MEDIA");
ps.MinimumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(600, 200);
ps.TitleBarLocation = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSetTitleBarLocation.Left;
ps.Add( "p1",new uimain());
ps.Visible = true;
ps.Dock = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.DockSides.None;
ps.Visible = false;
ps.Visible = true;
}
}
}

You say they don't work in '07. What
exactly does/does not happen when
you try use them?

the unknowncommand "command" thing

If you're trying to run the app in debug mode,
you need to set the CopyLocal property of
acmgd.dll to false. Not sure why, but I ran
into this problem and that solved it.

Do you have a dll that compiles and loads fine
but when issuing a command via the 'CommandMethod'
you get an error ' Unknown command "COMMANDNAME" '. ?

Right, but only in AC2007, its runns fine in AC2006.

AutoCAD demand loads 'acmgd.dll' in 07, so it gets loaded twice.

You can also set the working 'Working Directory' to the Acad
install directory.

get this, if I plase the dll in the AutoCAD 2007 root folder it works, so if I under stand The app needs to reforance the libraries in the application folder and not the local copy made by VS in dbug mode?

[Anonymous]

To make this clearer you can also set 'project->properties->debug->start
options->working directory'
to AutoCAD root.

If you follow Tony's advice and set Local Copy to false you should be able to place it anywhere.

The app config file for acad can be set to target a particular version of the .NET framework. By default it targets the highest version but you can explicitly set it for acad 2006 and 2007 individually. If acad2007 is set to target the 2.0 framework and your plug-in was compiled with 1.1 framework then it won't load. That is why you're getting the "Unknown Command" error. Modify the app config file in the program files folder where the executable lives to look for the same version of the framework that you're using. Each version of visual studio is designed to target a particular framework as well. VS2003 = 1.1fx, VS2005=2.0fx.

How would one compile a dll for AutoCAD 2007, referencing AcDbMgd.dll and AcmGD.dll from AutoCAD 2007, in v1.1 of the framework anyways? This should not compile. You would be referencing v2.0 components that require v2.0 of the framework?

After setting the property "Local Copy" to "false", You have to delete the file "acmgd.dll" from the "debug" folder.
