AutoCAD 参考 Visual Studio 代码

Question

I'm currently trying to use c# to develop some programs to help automate AutoCAD, but I am not able to use Visual Studio due to not being able to afford Enterprise or Professional, and Community is giving me "Access not allowed" errors on any program I run. Thus, I am trying to use Visual Studio Code, but am having trouble getting the proper references in. I've tried using Nuget and installing all the Autodesk/AutoCAD search results, but none have worked. According to the .NET AutoCAD Developer's Guide, I need to reference .dll's called "AcMgd.dll", "AcDbMgd.dll", and "AcCoreMgd.dll" but they do not come up on the Nuget search. How can I get these properly set up so I can develop AutoCAD? Is it possible, or will I need to find a way to use Visual Studio? Below are imports I am trying to use and corresponding errors.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Those files, AcMgd.dll, AcDbMgd.dll, and AcCoreMgd.dll will located in the directory that AutoCAD is installed to. They will have to be added as a reference normally, through the browse button, not through Nuget.

I just noticed you said VS Code. I do not know how you have the project setup or how to add references, but you have to reference those files specifically.

You should also make sure that when you add those as a reference that the "Copy Local" is set to false.

Answer 2

you have to set it up in .csproj file.

<Reference Include="AcMgd">
  <HintPath>C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD xxxx\acmgd.dll</HintPath>
  <Private>False</Private>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="AcDbMgd">
  <HintPath>C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD xxxx\AcDbMgd.dll</HintPath>
  <Private>False</Private>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="AcCoreMgd">
  <HintPath>C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD xxxx\AcCoreMgd.dll</HintPath>
  <Private>False</Private>
</Reference>
