Problem in loading application

Anonymous — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:01:27 GMT

I get the message "Problem in loading application" when I run the following code (copied straight from the help
file).
It's occurs in AutoCad Map 2008.

Public m_Map As AcadMap
Public m_MapProject As Project

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set m_Map = ThisDrawing.Application. _
GetInterfaceObject("AutoCADMap.Application.2")
If m_Map Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Unable to create AutoCADMap.Application Automation server."
End
End If

Set m_MapProject = m_Map.Projects(ThisDrawing)
If m_MapProject Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Unable to get active map project."
End
End If
End Sub

Any help?

I'm Trying in AutoCad Map 2008

Remove the 2 after AutoCADMap.Applicatin. You don't need the ProgID with 2008.

Go into Tools->References and make sure your Autodesk libraries are all pointing to 2008 especially AmVbApi.tlb which should be in \Program Files\AutoCAD MAP 3D 2008.

I have no problem with this code with AutoCAD Map 2011 in one computer and AutoCAD Map 2012 in another computer, both are Win7 64-bit:

Public Sub MapTest()

    Dim app As AutocadMAP.AcadMap
    Dim proj As AutocadMAP.Project

    Set app = Application.GetInterfaceObject("AutoCADMap.Application")
    Set proj = app.Projects(ThisDrawing)

    MsgBox "Projection: " & proj.CurrentProjection

End Sub

Are you sure you have set reference to AcMapVbaApi.tlb?

i'm designing a 64 bit VB.NET for win7 code on a 32 bit machine XP machine.

I did not have the reference to AcMapVbAbi.tlb, should i use this one or AcMapVbAbi.dll?

and mostly i want to get the alliases after

acad.GetInterfaceObject("AutocCADMap.Application")

So, you are not doing VBA, then.

I do understand what does this mean:

What type of application you are doing, for which version of AutoCAD? If you are doing AutoCAD .NET API adding, there is not need to use Map's COM API (for pre AutoCAD 2014 version, you cannot use 32-bit COM API in your .NET addin.

IMO, if you use .NET for programming, you do not need Map's COM API at all.

correct, VBA was said to be going away, so i'm converting VBA code to VB.NET to get it to work with a 64bit machine.

The line of code works now When i added the reference to AcMapVbAbi.tlb in Visual Studio 2010.

AutoCAD 3d map 2011

im not sure which references i do not need ? Map's COM API ?

anyways thanks for your help that seems to work so far at least it pasted that line of code
