ObjectArx 2019 debugging problem

zrobert — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 07:25:49 GMT

Hi;

I have a project in version 2018 and I compiled it into version 2019. Everything is ok in the release (or debug) version when it is normally loaded to Acad with the APPLOAD command. However, debugging does not work. Visual studio normally started Autocad, load application, but break points are not hit. I've created a new blank project with ObjectArx wizard 2019, compiled it and the problem is the same. Can not hit a break point. However, when compiling a project from an ObjectArx sample folder, debugging works normally!?! I try to compare this project settings, but cannot found differences (at least as far as I know).

Another thing, a project created with ObjectArx wizard, or a project from arx samples can not compile until I add this line to the project settings file.

<PropertyGroup Label="Configuration">
    <ConfigurationType>DynamicLibrary</ConfigurationType>
    <CharacterSet>Unicode</CharacterSet>
    <CLRSupport>false</CLRSupport>
    <UseOfMfc>Dynamic</UseOfMfc>
    <!-- <UseOfAtl>false</UseOfAtl> -->
    <WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>10.0.16299.0</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>
    <PlatformToolset>v141</PlatformToolset>
</PropertyGroup>

Here is example project.

P.S.

I do corrections to ObjectARX wizard 2019 files as sugested Mr. Alexander Rivilis in this post.

Thanks;

I can't reproduce the problem, I have tested wizard 2019 on VS 2017

is it possible run the command, and send me out.txt ?

msbuild ArxProject1.vcxproj /t:Build /p:Configuration=debug;Platform=x64 /pp:out.txt

Thanks for the file.

You are using VS 2017 community edition, I don't have the environment at my end to test and find problem.

1) I feel the either problem is with order of property sheets, ideally explicity mentioning of this element is not required it already defined in parent props.

I.e <WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>10.0.16299.0</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>

2) I noticed - \ObjectARX 2019\inc\rxsdk_common.props

	  <TargetMachine>MachineX86</TargetMachine>

Please replace above with following code

<!--<TargetMachine Condition="'$(Platform)'=='Win32'">MachineX86</TargetMachine>
      <TargetMachine Condition="'$(Platform)'=='x64'">MachineX64</TargetMachine>-->

3) What are errors you got ?

I try this .props changes, but with no success.

About "<WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>10.0.16299.0</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>", if I don't make this change, I got this error when compile: 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Platforms\x64\PlatformToolsets\v141\Toolset.targets(36,5): error MSB8036:The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution".

And, here is errors when start debuging proccess from VS:

@zrobert

1. I see you using not pure AutoCAD 2019 but AutoCAD Map 2019 (or AutoCAD Civil 3D 2019).

2. I see LoaderLock error: https://kishordgupta.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/c-tricks-how-to-remove-loader-lock-error-in-visual-studio-debugging/

Re: ObjectArx 2019 debugging problem

zrobert — Fri, 27 Apr 2018 06:30:58 GMT

Hi Aleksander;

Yes, I using Autocad Civil 3d and Map. I using this last 5 years with no problems.

Disabling Loader lock not solve problem. I found this option in arx example project (AsdkAcUiDialogSample) and this option is checked. This project I can compile and debugging without any problems.

I've lost a bit of nerves and ideas ... I do not have enough knowledge about c ++ compilling, settings etc ...

And, when I load arx app in Autocad and switch to VS code editor, breag point has "!" sign and report "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document".

This is a symptom of program database is not being generated.

I have attached a project, please unzip.

Edit *.vcxproj

Find

<ObjectARXPath>D:\ObjectARX 20$(ArxVersion)</ObjectARXPath>

and change it to correct SDK Path

Find

<WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>8.1</WindowsTargetPlatformVersion>

and change it to correct Windows SDK version

Save

Build

And, test if you are able to hit breakpoint.

Ok, I do all this, and I can debugging and hit breakpoints... All working OK in your app.

Re: ObjectArx 2019 debugging problem

zrobert — Fri, 27 Apr 2018 12:18:18 GMT

I found a solution, thank God!

Huge problem due to very small things.

I do not know the real reason because no one else complained about it, but my computer can not debug if I do not change the following settings.

By default, ObjectArx wizard create project with this settings:

In Configuration Properties->General->Intermediate Directory is set to $(Platform)\$(Configuration)\. With this settings I can't hit break point when debugging.

When I change this settings to $(SolutionDir)$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\, everything works great!

Honestly, I do not know what these setting mean and what it is, but now everything works normally.

Thank Mr. Madhukar for the time spent and help.

I have the same problem but I cannot find the tab you are referring to In Configuration Properties->General->Intermediate Directory is set to $(Platform)\$(Configuration)\.
