    Hello,
    I am designing an application that will open AutoCAD documents and then print it to some printer. The application will be built on vs 2003 , .net 1.1 sp 1 AutoCAD 2006.
    This is my first time so any pointers on how to do this will be very helpful to me.
    I tried couple of items from web and I am getting SystemIOFileNotFound exception. when I added AutoCAD 2006 to my path my system froze completely. Here is the sample code that I am using.
    Thanks a lot
    Kevin
    I have acdbmgd.dll and acmgd.dll in my references

    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
    Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices
    public class autocadtoprinter
    public sub openfile()
    Dim file As Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Document
    try
    file = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.Open("D:\Somefile.dwg", True)
    catch exp as exception
    throw exp
    end try
    end sub
    end class
    Please use plain text.
