Java VM in Autocad.

[srinivas_june23]

HI,

I am a hard core programmer in Java and also i am using Autocad since 1 year, know i wanted to develop applications for Autocad. I found that new applications can be built in Autocad with VC++ knowledge. But i don't have any programming expertise in VC++. So, what's my question is it really possible to develop applications using Java VM or Microsoft J++ or shall i have to learn VC++ to really do it? Shall I invest my time into it.

Any views will be a great help for me.Please do submit any links that will be helpful for my journey.

Thanks in Advance.

Arx code can only be written in C++. The latest version of C++ supported by Autodesk is 7.1 which means you need to get a downgrade if you have the latest Visual Studio.

Java can use ActiveX so you should be able to link to AutoCAD the way you would use Java on Excel or other ActiveX object.
