Yes, I do that too, but if you do, then make sure you clean out your %temp%
folder every now and then, because all AutoCAD's temp files are left intact
when you terminate with the debugger.

Mark:
VS launch AutoCAD and VS terminate AutoCAD when you set it to do it (ie,
starting an external app), and VS will do it the fast(er) way, specially
about terminating it. So it's up to you to save any thing *before* stopping
the debugger. However, i think you can add an event handler (to your app)
to automatically save your work before Autocad destroy the current db.
