SymBBAuto not working in 2014

I am trying to call the following line in VB.net but with the release of 2014 this piece of code no longer works.

 

symbb = odwg.Application.GetInterfaceObject("SymBBAuto.McadSymbolBBMgr.5")

 

Has anyone else experienced this or now of a fix?

 

Scott

Hello Scott,

 

Have you tried putting an "6" instead of the "5"?

Thank you for the reply. I did try 6. In fact I tried all numbers 1 to 9 and no number works.

Luis,

Thank you for the link. I tried to follow the instructions but I get the following error that GetInterfaceObject does not exist in AcadmAuto. That call only exists in basic AutoCAD and I cannot get AutoCAD interop to connect to symBBAuto even though I have sucessfully done it that way in the last 5 releases.

 

mAcmApp = (AcadmApplication)mAcadApp.GetInterfaceObject("AcadmAuto.AcadmApplication.2");

//Get symbol manager     
mSymMgr = (McadSymbolBBMgr)mAcadApp.GetInterfaceObject("SymBBAuto.McadSymbolBBMgr.4");

Problem solved! Thanks to Wayne with AutoDesk. Turns out that when installing Acad 2014 the symBBAuto did not register. Running "AutoCAD 2014 installation path>\Acadm\enu\symbbautoreg.exe" did the trick. Hope this helps if anyone else encounters this problem.

I am using AutoCAD Mechanical 2019 and when I tried to install symbbautoreg.exe from C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2019\Acadm\enu\

The installer does nothing, it doesn't even open. Also tried installing it using the command prompt.

Could it be that AutoDesk has stopped supporting this?
