The interop assembly being provided by Autodesk and going through activex interfaces creates a unique problem.
I can only build for one version at a time, if I have 2006 installed and write a .net app for Autocad, it will not run on a system with only 2005 installed.
To solve this and be able to build for both 2005 and 2006, I had to build a batch file that unregisters the 2006 interop and registers the 2005 one (boring).
Not a major issue, but it adds an extra complicated step that dot net is supposed to eliminate.
