Is custom .NETCore running application inside AutoCAD or Civil3D?

[michael_robertson]

How can I tell if my custom .NET application is running inside plain AutoCAD or Civil 3D?

I'm not civil, so I can't test this . . 

Crude, but may suit the situation.
Identify a System Variable unique to Civil3D

Check it's value.

Something like : 

global using CadApp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;
global using Exception = System.Exception;

[assembly: CommandClass(typeof(ProductInfoTest.Commands))]

namespace ProductInfoTest
{
   public class Commands
   {
      [CommandMethod("Test")]
      public static void Test()
      {
         var ed = CadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;

         try
         {
            //var cmd = (string)CadApp.GetSystemVariable("ACADVER");
            //var cmd = CadApp.GetSystemVariable("UCSICON");
            var cmd = CadApp.GetSystemVariable("PPOINT");
            ed.WriteMessage($"\nVariable .Test : {cmd}\n");
         }
         catch(Exception ex)
         {
            ed.WriteMessage($"\nError: {ex.Message}\n");
         }
      }
   }
}

Have you tried checking the PRODUCT system variable?

Hi Tony, 

I wasn't sure about that because you can start "Civil 3D as AutoCAD" using a different profile ( if I remember correctly )

. . . though it makes sense that the "Product" variable would change, so that would be simpler.
