Autocad not seeing Command Methods in new VB.net class

ralstogj — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 21:47:26 GMT

I have an exisitng project that I have added a new class to and then inserted the following code for

a new custom command as per the basic tutorial

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime

Public Class Class1

<CommandMethod("HelloWorld")> _

Public Sub HelloWorld()

MsgBox ("hello")

End Sub

End Clas

When I debug and netload the solution autocad does not see the new custom command in the new class

but sees the existing commandmethods in older classes. What am I missing?

Regards

Found the problem in the other class from the shipped pipe example

it had a line similar to this with the CommandClass

[assembly: CommandClass(typeof(Test.Test))]

which is discussed here

not sure what it does but commented it out and now all the command methods work in all classes.

Declaring a Class as a CommandClass tells AutoCAD to look there for command methods and causes AutoCAD to not look anywhere else in that assembly. It is all about loading speed.
