ARX Wizard 2017 won't load into VC2015

EMD1954 — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 22:32:52 GMT

Cyrille Fauvel answered "ARX Wizard 2013 won't load into VC2010" on May 17, 2012 - worked beautifully. I am having the exact same problem (VS2015, ARXMFCWizard 2017), but I can't get it to work no matter which defaultxxxx.htm I use or how I rename them. Dropdown for the Dialog ID doesn't exist (see attached). Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

PS. Sorry if any duplications

Hi;

Did you try install arx wizard this way:

Create .bat file in text editor, and run it as administrator.

.bat file text:

@Anonymous off
msiexec /i "I:\Autodesk\Autodesk 2017\ObjectARXWizards.msi"

(change path to your instalation file path)

This was working for me.

Cheers

Change in default.htm line 332:

<OBJECT CLASS="itemText" ID="DialogList" ACCESSKEY="d" CLASSID="CLSID:087da97a-e2f4-472a-bb48-0bcdfaa20fb3">

just downloaded the objarx 2017. When I click on "Autodesk_ObjectARX_2017_Win_64_and_32_Bit.sfx.exe" it extracted(rather than installed) to default location "C:\Autodesk" rather than "C:\ObjectARX" i was expecting in past. Was able to reference the acdbmgd.dll etc in vis stu 2015 so it seems ok, but don't see an install .msi for the objectarx wizard in the utils folder (or anywhere). What am i doing wrong? trying to learn using csharp to run autocad.

You are wrong because ObjectARX (C++) and AutoCAD .NET API (any .NET lang such as C#/VB.NET/F#/ etc.) are the different things.

For questions about csharp you can go to that forum: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net/bd-p/152

Also you can download and install AutoCAD .NET Wizard from this url: http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/AutoCAD_2017_dotnet_wizards.zip

Thanks Alexander. All the references in the Autocad .Net developer docs say dl the ObjectArx SDK and use those mgd dlls. I'll look at those links, thanks again

Yes. You can use managed dlls from ObjectARX SDK, but you have to remember to set Copy Local to False for those dlls in order to have not problem with loading/running your application.

I apologize for having so much difficulty with this.

New computer; loaded VS2015; installed the ObjectARX 2017 Wizard; changed the default.htm file.

I try to add a new ARX-MFC (or any ARX) class and I get this error: "Invalid at the top level of the document." (see attached photo).

Any ideas?

It looks like you messed up the default.htm file or MfcSupport.xml file as far as "invalid at top level of the document" error message is corresponding with XML errors.
