Hi there.
Has anybody any doc/info regarding .NET add-ins compatiblity across the versions of AutoCAD.
Basically, the story is that we're starting to port our VBA stuff into .NET Add-ins
The issue is that we have customers using from AutoCAD 2008 up to 2013
Everything before 2010 will stay VBA but we'd like to replave VBA starting at 2010
So the question is:
If I write an AutoCAD Add-in in 2010, will it work in 2011 and later ? or should westart in 2011.... Or do we need to recompile for every version of AutoCAD ?
A Ny idea/tip/info is welcomed

AutoCAD breaks Binary compatability every three versions and you will need to recompile your application with the current version.

Hi,
If you are working only in the 2D world,NanoCAD is a good option. All your code should work there with a recompile. It doesnt change its API, so no need to recompile your code every few years. Most of my .NET code I originally wrote for AutoCAD addons. I was pleased to see that it would recompile with NanoCAD just by changing out a couple of references. Since I am just a 2D guy, and do not expect to be more than that, at least for electrical and P&ID, this works for me. The commands and GUI are almost all the same also, so I did not have to relearn anything.
