AutoCAD 2023 - Visual Studio installation requirements

[rberghLJ4SA]

Hi All,

I am busy setting up a new machine to develop with AutoCAD 2023 OEM. Which version of visual studio is required and which component of visual studio do I need to install ?

Let check to NET framework 4.8.

Hi,

Have a look here:

Which Edition of Microsoft Visual Studio to Use (.NET)

Thanks so much but unfortunately it doesn't specify required components.

For instance Visual C++ ATL is required component that isn't installed for basic C# installation

I'm a little surprised that there is not more explicit detail here

Perhaps you could request a revision to the information shown.

There's an overview of the 2023 release requirements made by Madhu here: https://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2022/04/autocad-2023-developer-update.html

The OEM platform requirements are identical.

Tech Soft 3D provides learning resources on their Developer Zone: https://developer.techsoft3d.com/platform-products/autocad_oem/training/

10 minutes into the video 'AutoCAD OEM Virtual Training: Basics of AutoCAD OEM' the .NET and C++ environment settings are explained for 2021 release, I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out for other releases and versions of Visual Studio.

Mark the reply as solution please, do others can find this information.

Thanks,
