Hi i am looking for a method to impement a way to check certain autocad variable settings every time the dll is loaded( autocad starts). Is there a way other than command method to run commands without the user launching them?

A class that implement IExtensionApplication would always run the Initialize() method when the DLL is loaded:

public class MyPlugin : IExtensionApplication

{

// this method is called when the DLL is loaded

public void Initialize()

{

// you code here to check the MdiActiveDocument settings

// you may also handle DocumentCreated event, so that whenever

// a new drawing or a drawing file is opened, you can also check the

// drawing settings

}

// this method is called when AutoCAD quits

public void Terminate()

{

// in most cases you probably do not need to do anything here

}

// your other code of the class goes here...

}

Make sure you use try...catch to wrap the code in the Initialize(), if the code may result in runtime exception.
