missing an autocad reference

[Anonymous]

I am Programming with Visual Studio 2010.(VB.NET)

I am facing a problem that everytime I write "Dim Line1 as AcadLine" it shows error, whereas if I write "Dim Line1 As Autocad.Acadline" the code works fine.

Pls suggest which reference  am I missing ? (I would like to write "Dim Line1 as AcadLine".)

Hi,

then place on top of your code-file this statement

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common

...plus do some readme in helps about Framework and Namespaces 😉

I am doing that already

I was missing the new keyword

Public Cadapp as New Acadapplication

sorry the previuos reply was in some other context, I am still looking for the solution & will get back as soon as I find it

Hi,

then try this statement just to make sure you have all necessary references inluded:

Dim Line1 as Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.AcadLine

Does that also result in an error? If so you are missing the reference to the COM-objects:

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Interop.Common.dll

Can you tell me what the 'Assembly' or COM is that I need to include in my VS2012 project?

I'm needing to open/save/close multiply dwg files programmatically, in order to update them to our latest version, as well as run a custom LISP routine upon each dwg to extract data from the drawing...

Thanks
