How are you loading it into AutoCAD?
If the project builds ok:
1. Start AutoCAD
2. Start the 'ARX' command and type 'L' for load.
3. Browse to the folder that contains the *.arx file.
4. Type the name of the command that you defined.

The arx file should be in a sub folder within your project that is called either 'debug' or 'release' and it should have the file extension '.arx'. If not then most likely the project did not build correctly.

Hi,
I'm a new to arx also. I just start to ARX and VC for a just month and I also faced with this problem. Here is my exprience of the first compilation:
1. Righ click on your project in the VS Solution explore and click property.
2. Go to Configuration properties -> C/C++. Make sure that Addition Included Directory is include "C:\OBJECTARX\inc" (assumed that you install OARX in C:\OBJECTARX\ folder.
3. Go to Configuration properties -> C/C++. Make sure that Additional Library Directory is include "C:\OBJECTARX\lib"
4.Save these configuration and compile the project.
5. Depend on your type of output (debug and release) the output should be in one of these folder.
Load and try.
Good luck.

Hi,

Manifest is a bad thing which have to be avoided.
So what you have to do is to get rid of everything that has do with manifest.
In project properties:
Set Configuration Properties->Linker->Manifest File->Generate Manifest to no.
Set Configuration Properties->Manifest Tool->Embed Manifest to no.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards
