I have an AutoCAD plugin that works well. However, I have some clients that
would like to call the plug-in functionality from outside AutoCAD. Thus, I
have created a wrapper interface around my plug-in, though internally, it
still relies on some AutoCAD .dlls. However, when I try to run an application
that uses the wrapper interface, I get all sorts of errors (in particular, it
seems that some needed assemblies are not found at runtime). Is there a way to
make this work or is it just impossible to use AutoCAD dlls from outside
AutoCAD? Thanks.

Tony. So let's have I have a plug-in written in a mixture of C++ and .NET. Can
I write a wrapper interface to the plug-in that I could call from another
application? You said to use COM, could you elaborate on the steps I need to
take? Would that mean that the AutoCAD + plugin application would need to be
running in order for the other application to call
it?
