Getting started with interops

[Christopher.hartman]

I'm new to AutoCAD and especially the AutoCAD Interops. Could anyone point me in the right direction on where I can find details on how to use them?  I specifically need to be able to open a DWT and insert information from a DWG.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

>> I'm new to AutoCAD and especially the AutoCAD Interops.

Which development API are you on? AutoCAD Interops can be used inside dotNET based application as well as VBA.

These are the correct forums for:

>>>AutoCAD dotNET<<<

>>>AutoCAD VBA<<<

I am using two DLL's in my C# .NET application: interop.AutoCAD.dll and interop.AXDBLib.dll.

Ultimately what I'm trying to accomplish is to create an API that takes in a template (DWT), adds a bunch of information from 2 different drawings (DWG) and saves the outcome to a network share.  However, I need to flesh out whether or not the Interop method is capable of doing this or if I need to switch to using the AutoCAD .NET API method.  The problem I ran into with that method is that I can't debug the code - something to do with "invalid application" error.

Hi,

Then please ask in the forum of the first link I posted in my previous message. This forum here is for AutoCAD usage, not development based on AutoCAD API's
