In this presentation, we will not go into any details about the advantages of development using the .NET environment, or the underlying AutoCAD.NET API, because these are discussed in dedicated presentations available online and listed in the resources at the end. You can also look at last years ACA.NET webcast recording for more in-depth discussion of the relationships and differences between AutoCAD.NET and ACA.NET. Other issues also discussed there include the creation of an AutoCAD.NET or ACA.NET plug-in skeleton, defining commands, handling exceptions and errors, transaction management, and .NET reflection. Access to the display system and some other specialised APIs were introduced in ACA 2008 or in ACA 2007 service packs.
