Debugging Autocad 2016 in VS2012

[nggarnaud]

Dear all

I am stepping into debugging my api, and i have problems with some execptions. How can i fix it?

Thank you in advance

My project 

• C++
• Build fine with solution platforms x64
• Net Framework is set to 4.5 but that information doesn't appears in my project file.
• I had installed windows kits 8.1 and 10 with gflags but don't know how to use it properly;

Symptoms

• Using " Start debugging command "
• Autocad 2016 takes more than 10 mins to start;
• As a result of that i can't use my custom command

Debugging config : 

• Just my code;
• Symbols are loaded from //symbols.autodesk.com/symbols
• Others symbols are loaded from my pdb file
• Edit and continue

Do you see these problems only when debugging?

So, when you start AutoCAD normally and ARXLOAD your app everything works?

In this case I would try a repair installation of VisualStudio. Are you using VS2012 with Update 4?

Or did you activate too many exceptions (Debug->Windows->Exceptions)? Reset them to default.

Otherwise: Could it be that your AutoCAD user profile es broken? Try to start acad.exe with the parameter /p myProfile. This will create a new profile named "myProfile".

Does debugging work when you compile one of the ARX samples?

Vs2012 with upadate 4

Hello sir,

Scenario 1: When i load manually my api in autocad 2016, things works well. But the problem happens when i use my arx command. This force Autocad 2016 to start debugging. 

Scenario 2: When i start debugginh in vs 2012, i builds fine. But Autocad takes longer to starts. That didn't allow me to use arx and appload commands ( last week).

I had reinstalled autocad 2016 last weekend, and now i am repairing vs2012.I will also follow your new suggestions and let you know how its goes.

Cheers

Hello everyone

I followed your instruction. Things are working well when i build, load and run a traits.arx in AutoCAD 2016. But it doesn't work with my API.

• Repaire VS2012
• Reinstalled AutoCAD 2016 and created a proflie ;
• Build, load nad run traits.arx = Success, but failed with my api;

 Should i use the same settings that was used for Samples\Graphics\Traits.sln?

My project was created using the instructions in Sparring with Autodesk® ObjectARX®—Round 2 Stepping into the Ring Lee Ambrosius\ Create a project from scratch, because unble to create a new project using Autodesk template.

Please Helppppp!!!!
