Unable to cast object of type 'Autodesk...PreviewRuleProvider'

environment = Win 8 pro x64, VS 2013 pro upd 4, ACAD 2015.

 

This error is thrown everytime I start my plugin in debug mode, however when I run ACAD outside of the debugger no issues. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

 

Application does not support just-in-time (JIT)
debugging. See the end of this message for details.

It may be due to you having the CopyLocal property for the Autocad related references set to True. This should always be set false for the Acad managed wrappers.

Jeff_M.  Could you give some more details as to where I change the CopyLocal property. I am using Autocad LT and experiencing the same problem.

 

Thanks

@ilachish,

 

You can set the CopyLocal of a reference in Visual Studio by selecting the reference in the Solution Explorer to open ist Property window where you can find the CopyLocal.

 

Anyway, assuming you're using AutoCAD LT, your real problem is that AutoCAD LT does not support any programmation. You have to use a full version to be able to run .NET plugins (as well as LISP, VBA or ObjectARX applications).

Thanks Gile. Unfortunately I am just a user of the plugin not the programmer.  I was hoping this would be a setting I could change in Autocad LT.
