transactions do not work in stand alone executables?

Hello

I am trying to write a simple pdf creator that can work outsideo of autocad.

Since I am not opening each file, I need to use the DBDictionary.

When it comes tothe statement where I need to start the transaction, the routine fails.

I am guessing it is a simple either/or scenario, where you cant use autocad Transactions in stand alone execuatbles?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It is not only Transaction. It is the entire AutoCAD .NET APIs cannot used in EXE applications other than AutoCAD itself. You can only use them (e.g. references to accodemgd/acmgd/acdbmgd.dll) in a DLL projects and the DLL can only run when loaded inside AutoCAD process (with command NETLOAD, or other auto-loading approaches).
