DLL to ARX

[bweir]

I have been experimenting with creating applications in Visual Studio. I can create a DLL and load that into AutoCAD and everything work But how can I create an ARX file rather then a DLL?

In order to create arx-file you need download ObjectARX SDK (http://www.objectarx.com), install it, install ObjectARX Wizard and create new project with it. After that read ObjectARX Developer Guide (part of ObjectARX SDK) and you will be ready to create arx-file, that is a sort of dll-file.

Thanks, I got the SDK. To migrate my souce, do I have to do anything special? (VB.Net, C#.Net)

Basically re-write it. Arx requires unmanged c++ using the arx libraries.
