Python connexion with AutoCad

[adrien_lambertZVQMG]

Dear,

I would like to try python automation with AutoCAD so I downloaded the trial version of AutoCad which is named : Autodesk AutoCAD 2026 - UNREGISTERED VERSION.

However, I cannot connect python with autocad. I get the following error message : OSError: [WinError -2147221005] running the code bellow. 

Could you please tell me if python automation is supported with this version of AutoCAD ? 

NB : I don't have admin rights on my laptop, I ran python file with both vscode and cmd

Kind regards,

Adrien

Code : 

import pyautocad

acad = pyautocad.Autocad()

print(acad.doc.Name)

Hi, 
Thanks for your answer. 
By navigating on this website I've found the name of Autocad I should use. 

To find it, you must do the following steps : 

1)  Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.

2) Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoCAD.Application

3) Look for a name associated with AutoCAD Application Object in my case it is "AutoCAD.Application.25.1

4) Try the following code, AutoCAD should open now 

name_acad = "Autocad.Application.25.1"

try:

    acad = GetActiveObject(name_acad)

    print("AutoCAD is Active")

except(OSError, COMError😞 #If AutoCAD isn't running, run it

    acad = CreateObject(name_acad,dynamic=True)

    print("AutoCAD is successfuly Opened")

Kind regards, 

Adrien
