    Default Debugging without reopening acad everytime

    Another beginner question: im coding in VS so everytime i build my solution i have to reopen acad to test it. Is there a simple way to keep acad open and simply use netload and reload my .dll instead of having to wait for acad to open each time i build my code? I tried building it in VS then reloading the .dll with NETLOAD in acad but that doesnt seem to work.

    Thank you again for any help.

    Welcome to the world of .NET development.

    Unfortunately, no - there is no such thing as NETUNLOAD (certainly not yet)... .NET Assemblies can only be loaded once per session, so the closing, and relaunching of Acad.exe is necessary.

    Depending on versions of VS, and AutoCAD, you might consider using 'Edit and Continue' as a stop gap in the interim.


    Cheers
