.NET

[#1]

I would like to extablish a COM interface to AutoCAD 2006 using a .Net dll.

I am able to obtain an system.__ComObject using the following code (this is a class that is created from within my .net dll)

I recieve an exception when I try to reference the active document via this interface


Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop
Imports AcadCOMintf = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application
Public Enum eDevType
FullScalePDF = 1
FullScaleXerox = 2
End Enum
Public Class ComPlotSetup
Public Shared oAcadCOMApp As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadApplication = CType(AcadCOMintf.AcadApplication, AcadApplication)

Public Sub New(ByVal oPresentFormatInfo As PresentFormat, ByVal DeviceType As eDevType)

Try
Dim oacadCOMDoc As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadDocument
oacadCOMDoc = oAcadCOMApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
oacadCOMDoc = oAcadCOMApp.Preferences
Catch
End Try
End Sub
End Class

Scratch this line, It is an anomoly of "Cut and Paste"

oacadCOMDoc = oAcadCOMApp.Preferences

Also, is there any way to get the COM based application object from an

Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Document object

Please tell me if I am grossly misinformed and out to lunch. I am about ready to take my ball and go home.

I guess that I am still playing ball. this works.

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop
Imports AcadCOMintf = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application
Public Enum eDevType
FullScalePDF = 1
FullScaleXerox = 2
End Enum
Public Class ComPlotSetup
Public Shared oAcadCOMApp As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadApplication = CType(AcadCOMintf.AcadApplication, AcadApplication)

Public Sub New(ByVal oPresentFormatInfo As PresentFormat, ByVal DeviceType As eDevType)

Try
Dim oAcadCOMDoc As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.AcadDocument
oAcadCOMDoc = oAcadCOMApp.ActiveDocument
MsgBox(oAcadCOMDoc.Name)

Catch
End Try
End Sub
End Class
