Managed .NET Reference Guide (AutoCAD 2021)

[JFN_KSH]

The following link seems to be broken on autodesk website (https://download.autodesk.com/us/objectarx/objectarx_2021_documentation_vs2019.zip). Is there any other way to get the Managed .NET Reference Guide for Visual studio 2019?

@lena.talkhina The broken link is on this page of the developer network.

Thanks for the reply. Exactly, it's on the page you've mentioned. As I said, the link seems to be broken. When I click I get the following:

@Ed__Jobe thank you for mentioning me.

I see the same issue as you.

Let me raise an internal ticket and I'll be back as soon I have information.

Meanwhile, would it be possible to post a temporary link (on this forum?) so that we can keep the wheel rolling? Is there any other way to get the Managed .NET Reference Guide for Visual studio 2019? Thanks!

My guess is that the file isn't available for 2021 yet. Someone probably just put the link on the page as a placeholder. But I hope its available.

It's my bad... I should have installed Visual studio 2017... Latest is not always the greatest!

Managed .NET Reference Guide for Visual studio 2019 is a part of ObjectARX SDK 2021 documentation. So you can install ObjectARX SDK 2019 and install documentation:

I'm looking to get intellisense "autodesk" input from visual studio. Maybe i'm wrong, but I don't think the documentation will install that feature? will it?

[Alexander.Rivilis]

Intellisense for AutoCAD .NET API is based on xml-files in ObjectARX SDK /inc/ subfolder :

So if you use dll-assembles from this folder - intellisense is turned on

[JFN_KSH]

Could you give me details on how to do the dll-assembles? 

[Alexander.Rivilis]

I am talking about standard AutoCAD .NET API assemblies, such as acdbmgd.dll, acmgd.dll, accoremgd.dll and so on:

E:\ObjectARX2021 - is my custom path for ObjectARX SDK 2021

[JFN_KSH]

Oh! Ok... I think I got you... So if I reference the usual .dll (acmgd, AcDbMgd & AcCoreMgd) Visual studio should read the intellisense .xml from the same INC folder. Correct?
