AutoCad2010 with Visualstudio-2008 (c#)

giskumar — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:24:05 GMT

Hi All,

I tried to write a simple program in c#.net for autocad 2010.

I build and loaded the .dll file but not able to access the command.

When i type tst in command prompt, it prompting unknown command.

Please help me how to solve this.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data.OleDb;
using System.Data;

namespace AcadGlobles
{
    class Commands
    {
        [CommandMethod("tst")]
        static public void test()
        {
            MessageBox.Show("hi");
        }
    }
}

Thanks,

Kumar.

It is look like you do not assign Copy Local to False for AutoCAD DLL references in your solution (acmgd.dll, acdbmdg.dll, etc.)

The class Commands needs to be public. Not sure if it matters, but normally the public is the first item listed, so instead of

static public void test()

it woul be

public static void test()

Like Jeff said, the method and the class must be public, otherwise AutoCAD will not locate the method

class Commands

should be replaced with

public class Commands

Hi All,

Thanks for the reply.

Adding Public before class is working for me.
