Create Plugins In Trueview?

[DalskiSelecta]

Is it possible to create plugins for Trueview using the Autocad.Net framework?

I've downloaded the AutoCad.NET developers guide written by Stphen Preton but I'm not sure if it's possible to do this in AutoDesk TrueView as the guide seems focused towards the main AutoCad product I think. Also it references Microsoft Visual Studio 2008; so it could be quite old & I'm not sure on the relevance in 2020?

I'll need to be putting functions in there which overlay ontop of the existing artwork in AutoCad or at least modify what is already there. This is for the purpose of taking-off quantities.

I'm assessing the situation before I think about modifying my own code as I'm currently studying C++ but I think the much faster route would be through an Autocad plugin.

EDIT - Sorry I know this is a TrueView topic but there isn't a sub-forum for customization. Hopefully a moderator will transfer it to the most relevant forum; so I don't upset everyone.

No, TrueView does not support plug ins.  And since it may be asked, AutoCAD LT doesn't either.  If you want to do automated processing you'll have to work with vanilla AutoCAD or one of the verticals.

Thanks dgorsman, I thought that'd be the case, oh well; back to c++ hard-coding the entire system I think.
