OjectARX or C# + external DLL?

[oransen]

Though I programmed in ObjectARX many years ago I'm thinking that it may be better to use C# (running as a plugin in AutoCAD) which calls functions in an external DLL.

The C# would be mainly GUI and DWG database stuff, while the DLL would do complex calculations.

Is that a sensible approach?

ObjectARX seems to require recompilation with almost every release of AutoCAD, presumably C# programs don't need to be updated so often. Is that right?

Hi,

I agree with your approach as many developers has taken this approach.
