Add Extensions references

5axes — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 10:00:27 GMT

Hello,

I've just decided to investigate the developpement of VB.NET applications for PowerMill. In the tutorial "Powershape Powermill API" posted by @luke.edwards.autodesk there is a note concerning the necessity to add the extension Autodesk.Licensing and Autodesk.CustomSoftwareCoreLicensing :

"You should also add a reference to Autodesk.Licensing and Autodesk.CustomSoftwareCoreLicensing to ensure you application compiles correctly."

But when I list all the available references, these extensions are not present in the list. Is it normal ?

The code works fine and I can generate the project but I don't know if finaly it's absolutlly necessar to add this reference ?

Hello @5axes,

I've never added these references and everything works fine.

Good point. Those are old references that aren't required anymore. I will get the files updated.

Thank you @luke.edwards.autodesk for this reactivity and as you are in the modifications you can also update the adress of the Web site to report the needed functionality :

As well as in the warning message of the API http://forum.Autodesk.com/viewforum.php?f=53

As developer you should know that using the "Replace All" function, is never a good solution in a source code
