Is is possible to use AutoCAD.NET library with Windows Universal (UWP)?

[Anonymous]

As the question in the title suggests, I am wondering if there are any official AutoDesk libraries that will allow me to include the features of the AutoCAD.NET (C#) libraries within my Windows Universal (UWP) application. Thank you!

No, it is not possible. You even cannot use AutoCAD's .NET library with regular Windows desktop app. AutoCAD .NET API library can only be used WITHIN running AutoCAD process.

you can grab a running acad process (.exe) externally and work that way.  I've done that a few times.

Thank you for the information. I will not continue to look for this any further.

Part of the API (writing, reading DWG/DXF files but not displaying them) is available with RealDWG. Not sure that UWP is supported.
