Hello everyone,


I have a few questions regarding the migration from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 8.0, especially in relation to AutoCAD 2025.


1. Is existing .NET Framework 4.8 code no longer supported in AutoCAD 2025?
Are there fundamental limitations, or is a complete switch to .NET 8.0 mandatory?


2. What key aspects need to be considered during the migration?
Are there best practices or checklists to ensure a smooth transition?


3. What compiler settings are required?
I am currently working with Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit), version 17.13.5.

1. Is existing .NET Framework 4.8 code no longer supported in AutoCAD 2025?
Are there fundamental limitations, or is a complete switch to .NET 8.0 mandatory? You can try code compiled for AutoCAD 2024, some work just fine, many don't.


2. What key aspects need to be considered during the migration?
Are there best practices or checklists to ensure a smooth transition? The migration guide and the comments in that thread cover these pretty well.


3. What compiler settings are required?
I am currently working with Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit), version 17.13.5. This is what I used at first.
