Running exe from Autocad Menu

[johnlap]

I'm wanting to run a C# exe from the AutoCad menu. Using 2008 and C# 2008 and .NET 3.5. Is this possible? If so, how? I know about the netload command, but it seems that only applies to dll's.
TIA Once Again,
John

Yes, it's possible. There are several ways to go about it.

Easiest method is to write a VBA macro that calls the Shell() method. Worst case scenario you create a .NET dll that invokes your exe.

No problem.

Can you use the START command? There's also the (startapp) AutoLISP
function. 🙂

Thanks to both of you for replying. I got it to work using the start autolisp command that was recommended.
