Adding property in general section

[arpeet.shah]

Hello Folks, Can we modify the "Properties Palette functionality" of AutoCAD to add a custom property in the General section for each entity using AutoCAD .Net api ?

I am facing challenges to add a property in the General section so that I can fetch it in Navvisworks and forge. Please let me know if it is possible and if we can add a property in the General section. Below is the reference image for you to understand the exact location where I wish to add custom field in the pallet.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Ed__Jobe , the solution that you have provided above doesn't provide us the desired results.
We are trying to add custom properties in the general section of the Property pallet.

For a clear view, we have tried the following solutions as well:

But somehow we are not able to build the code in this. We are looking for the similar solution in AutoCAD 2020 and above.

The post I linked to mentioned that you can't do it without C++ to develop an *.arx file. That's what Kean did in part 1, the post you linked to. In part 2, he supplied the code for the arx project and a arx file, plus the NET code to use the arx. To compile the arx code, you need to use C++, even though the code looks similar to C#.
