Coding with C# in AutoCAD LT

imrantheman12 — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 14:47:05 GMT

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to code in AutoCAD LT. I am using Microsoft Visual Studios with .NET and C#, but I am having trouble finding the libraries to reference to (the .dll files) and I was just wondering if it is even possible to code and run it on the LT version.

No API-Coding within LT is not possible with any language.

(send strings to controle non-dialog window based commands is the maximum what is possible)

Programming? That's for AutoCAD and Toolsets, not for LT

@imrantheman12 Same answer applies from above too. No API Coding is possible, no Express Tools in LT, no add-ons in LT to do what you want with an outside tool.

Core LT command for attribute updates from Excel is ATTEXT, usage is explained in HELP.

Yes, of course, it is possible to handle the dxf file using c#.

You need to dig it.

in visual studio download the NuGet package "netDxf" it has all properties of objects from dxf files.

go through the following link

Thanks, me later...

It is not possible in LT. LT does not use addins

@h_s_walker He didn't say that, he just shows a way to edit DXF files without AutoCAD(LT).
That's an answer to a question that wasn't asked here, but it's still a bit on topic.

in the end, we want to develop an automation tool that is useful to edit or create dxf files.

and netDXF libraries are very useful.
