orange Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Is it possible to use ObjectARX with dev c++ instead of MS Visual C++ ? if so is there a tutorial how to configure it? thanks. Quote
ReMark Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Yes I believe it is possible. You might inquire over here about tutorials.... AutoDesk Discussion Groups > AutoCAD > AutoCAD Customization > Visual Lisp, AutoLISP and General Customization. Quote
BlackBox Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 @ Mark - The OP is asking for information about ObjectARX (C++.NET for AutoCAD), and not Visual LISP (two completely different APIs). @ orange - According to the System Requirements listed for ARX development, you must use: Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008 (SP1) software for C/C++ development Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 software for managed code development HTH Quote
ReMark Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I agree. I saw a thread in the forum I mentioned that seemed to indicate the OP was already doing something similar. Quote
BlackBox Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 If your concern is using the free Dev C++ in lieu of full Visual Studio, then simply use Visual Studio 2010 Express (available for C++, C#, and VB.NET). I have all three installed on my computer. Unlike C#, and VB.NET Express IDE I *believe* Express C++ IDE fully supports the AutoCAD ARX Wizards (for templates, etc.). I personally am starting to use C#,VB.NET, and modifying the *.*proj files' XML code to enable them to launch AutoCAD/Civil 3D at Debug, and modified acad.exe.config's XML to allow for hitting breakpoints, etc. See here.

orange Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 thanks for replies. I'm sort of a (ambitious!) beginner. I've tried devc++, it complains about lack of 'atlbase.h' google suggests that Visual Studio 2010 Express has the same problem. Can Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 ultimate be used to make C++ or 2008 version is a must? I need it to make custom properties, like here: http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2008/11/adding-custom-p.html Quote
SLW210 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Thread relocated to the .NET, ObjectARX & VBA forum. Quote
orange Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 I did some research and it seems visual studio 2005 should be used with autocad2009. can someone please tell me if visual studio 2008 would work too? Quote
