Thank You

First, make sure you have a reference set to acMgd.dll and acDbMgd.dll.

Next, start a "Class Library" project type.

Then, paste this code in the editor:

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime

Public Class Examples

_

Public Sub Hello()

MsgBox("This is a test")

End Sub

End Class

Build the solution and then netload it into AutoCAD. Type "Hello" at the
command prompt and you should see a dialog box with the message above.

Also set 'copy local' to false for both... Seem to be the original problem.

You have to or the commands won't be recognized. If you create a project using the wizard it does it for you though.

Perhaps you don't have any problems because you've never
debugged a managed application.

That's when the commands are not recognized.

So you can set 'copy local' to true and still have the commands run... I cannot. Anyone else able to create
commands without setting 'copy local' to false?

I just upgraded to Visual Studio 2008. I have found that it wont recognize any of the commands that i compiled with it. I Can debug it great, but i go to install on another machine it doesnt work one bit. Any help would be appreciated.

Using Version AutoCAD 2007,2008,2009. The version doesnt matter. It must be sometihng during the compile. I have tried copying local and not. Its getting frustrating!!
