Problem with version

[MarkJamesRogolino]

Hello everyone of Tribe. Your support was always helpful with me.

I made a small Addin of AutoCAD.

It works well in AutoCAD 2020,
But it does not work in AutoCAD 2021.
So I did netload command manaually, but any command does not work also.
How can I solve it.
Hope for your kind help. Thank you.

Your question can't be answered because the answer depends on what problem(s) exist in your code, which you haven't disclosed.

Thank you for your reply. Every commands works well in acad 2020 but any command does not work in acad 2021. I think it is not releated with code. My small opinion.

It is definitely related to code.

And code is significant. The passage of time will always affect code, and its a subject we should all want to discuss. Code is text put together in a file that computers read, and is how AI works. AI is not a subject we should ignore, we should discuss it, and care about it. I am very sorry about your code, deeply sorry.

LOL, I could write that all day. Show us some code buddy, but aslo mention if your new project references the acad 2021 .net assemblies, with copylocal property set to false.

[MarkJamesRogolino]

You are helping me, Dont be sorry about code.

I share my simple command. But even it does not work.

All the references copylocal properties are false.

But I  added references from 2020 version libraries(acdbmgd, accoremgd, acmgd).

Is this is just the main cause of problem?

Looks like you're on your own now, good luck finding the problem.

Change references to 2021 libraries and recompile . . . 

That would be a good place to start

[MarkJamesRogolino]

Thank you for your kind teaching me.

This is my simple command.

[CommandMethod("viewchk")]
public void ViewCheck()
{
Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Database db = doc.Database;
Editor ed = doc.Editor;
using (var view = ed.GetCurrentView())
{
ed.WriteMessage($"\nCurrent View: {GetViewName(view.ViewDirection)}");
}
}

But even it does not work.

And I installed acad 2021 LT version and recompile my solution with acad 2021 reference.

But there is no netload command in LT version. Am I right?

I am not sure about this.

Autodesk apps, plugins, add-ons, or in API-tools from the App store or other sources cannot be installed on AutoCAD LT. They can only be installed on AutoCAD including specialized toolsets.

Oh, LT, LOL.

Minor detail there.

I guess now that Lips supposedly works on LT, people expect .net also.

I told Autodesk that would be a problem but my dog does not listen to me either so....

While reviewing your post I decided to make assumptions about the codes purpose ;

Here's my guess, expressed by revising method and variable names and providing best-guess of the missing functionality.

These are things you should have provided in your first post, along with the comment about attempting to use AutoCAD LT 2021.

[CommandMethod("viewchk")]
public void ViewDirectionCheck() {
   Editor ed = CadApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;
   using (var viewRecord = ed.GetCurrentView()) {
      ed.WriteMessage($"\nCurrent View Direction : {GetViewDirectionAxis(viewRecord.ViewDirection)}");
   }
}

private string GetViewDirectionAxis(Vector3d viewDirection) {
   if (viewDirection == Vector3d.XAxis) return "X-Axis";
   if (viewDirection == Vector3d.YAxis) return "Y-Axis";
   if (viewDirection == Vector3d.ZAxis) return "Z-Axis";
   return "Unknown";
}

Best fortune,
