The project isn't loaded because of the "undefined command" .
You have to recompile you're program and references the proper AutoCAD DLL's like: accoremgd, acdbmgd, acmgd, ...

A dll compiled to work with 2008 isn't going to work with 2015. You need to add references for the 2015 dlls.

Hi Amit,

To make .net dll application for Acad 2015 you should use VS 2012.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5

More information can found here.

The main DLL files of the AutoCAD .NET API that you will frequently use are:
- AcCoreMgd.dll. Use when working within the editor, publishing and plotting, and defining commands and functions that can be called from AutoLISP.
- AcDbMgd.dll. Use when working with objects stored in a drawing file.
- AcMgd.dll. Use when working with the application and user interface.
- AcCui.dll. Use when working with customization files.

From my experience, not exactly. Applications built for AutoCAD 2013 still work on AutoCAD 2015.

So you have to think about you application requirements from the AutoCAD libraries you target.

If you target AutoCAD 2013 (and later), you have to reference this version libraries which requires the .NET Framework 4.0 (or later). this framework is available with Visual Studio 2010 (or later).

If you want to use the new features from AutoCAD 2015 .NET API, you need to reference AutoCAD 2015 libraries which requires the .NET Framework 4.5, available with Visual Studio 2012 (or later).
