Api documentation

Hello all,

I'm trying to learn how to program plug ins for Autocad using Visual Studios and VB.net however the documentation for this is hard to find. I'm hoping to find documentation for the different classes and their properties and methods available. Any help is appreciated.

Perhaps start here :

If you're just starting dealing with AutoCAD, C# may be the better option for peer support and good sample code.

Have a great journey 🙂

Regards,

I agree with kdub, C# is a better choice (you'll find more example code and there are more programmers who can help you).

You could buy this book too, 'Start Programming in .NET for AutoCAD':
