Initial Linking Issue?

[Anonymous]

Does anybody know a solution to the straight out of the gate problem that I am running into?

I am working on a custom macro for AutoCAD 2020, and ran into an apparent Link error in Visual Studio.

I started on a fresh install of windows, installed VS2017, Downloaded ObjectARX 2020, and then the ObjectARX 2020 Wizard. I spin up an .ARX project and am immediately facing an error:

  | Code    | Description                         | Project | File | Line
X | LNK1181 | Cannot open input file 'accore.lib' | Project | LINK | 1

It is look like you did not changed Platform from x86 to x64:

AutoCAD 2020 is only x64. And ObjectARX SDK 2020 is also only x64. But ObjectARX Wizard 2020 create project for both platforms and default platform in such project is x86.

D'oh, That did it, sir. thank you for the speedy response!

Can't believe I missed that step.

It would be nice if Autodesk could remove the obsolete x86/Win32 platform configurations from the sample projects and from the wizard.
