I work for a civil engineering firm and I'm trying to learn how to use .NET to write plug-ins to do things more efficiently.
In going through the process of installing the things I need according to Autodesk's online guide, though, I ran into a funny issue...I apparently need to download an Autocad .NET Wizards package. The available packages are either AutoCAD 2014/Visual Studio 2012 or AutoCAD 2013/Visual Studio 2010. My company has Windows 7, so I am unable to download Visual Studio 2012 as it is currently only compatible with Windows 8.
So...what am I supposed to do? I tried downloading and installing the AutoCAD 2013/Visual Studio 2010 package, and it kind of just froze during installation and didn't do anything.
Has anyone else found a workaround/solution for this? Or am I the only one who wants to use .NET with AutoCAD 2014 running on Windows 7?
