Hi All,

Any body help me how to create a setup file for AutoCAD Map 3d (2016) Addin?

After installing that setup it should load that command in AutoCAD automatically.

Thanks & Regards,

What kind of "Add-in" do you refer to? While the traditional approach of "loading on start-up" by using acad.lsp and/or loading per-document of acaddoc.lsp is still one of valid, viable options for add-ins of any type, if you are talking about loading DLLs developed with AutoCAD/Map .NET API, you can easily make the DLL add-in be loaded automatically on demands either by editing Windows registry (you can then build a setup with the *.reg file); or use autoloader, which has been available since Acad2013.

You can search the net for "AutoCAD app autoloading". There are a couple of them:
