How to Retrieve System Configuration in AutoCAD Headless Environment (AccoreConsole)

dev603_tech — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 18:15:44 GMT

Hi everyone,

We've developed an application that uses AutoCAD in a headless environment (via accoreconsole.exe) to generate drawing PDFs. Occasionally, we've observed that PDF generation takes significantly longer than expected in some instances.

To help identify the root cause, I would like to analyze the system configuration, such as RAM, CPU, disk space, and OS on the environment where accoreconsole is running.

Is there a way to programmatically retrieve system configuration details (e.g., RAM, CPU, OS version, available disk space, etc.) of the AutoCAD headless environment?

Any insights, tools, or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Core Console supports NETLOAD; load your .NET assembly to perform the desired analysis.

Is your instance of Core Console running on a desktop or the cloud?

If running on a desktop install, this will batch plot your DWGs to PDF via Core Console + the built-in Autopublish mechanism (written in ARX):

I thought so too, but this was technically a new member, so figured it worth a try. :shrug:
