# AutoCAD .NET Wizards
- Modern wizards for .NET Core projects
- This tool uses VSIX technology to install a VS Template on Visual Studio.
- All command-line instructions should run on the[ Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt.]([Command-line shells & prompt for developers - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/command-prompt-powershell?view=vs-2022))
## Steps To Build
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ADN-DevTech/AutoCAD-Net-Wizards.git
cd AutoCAD-Net-Wizards\AutoCAD-Plugin-Template
devenv AutoCAD-Plugin.sln
msbuild PluginVsix\PluginVsix.csproj /t:build /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64
```
- To create template packs for both C# and VB
- Set `ExamplePlugin` as `Start Up Project`.
- From Menubar->Project->Export Template
- Repeat same for `ExamplePluginVB`
## Steps To Install
- Download and unpack https://github.com/ADN-DevTech/AutoCAD-Net-Wizards/releases/download/v2025/PluginVsix.zip
- Double Click PluginVsix.vsix
### Tips
- After creating the project from the template pack, edit `launchSettings.json` to change the executable path to acad.exe.
- **Wizard template fetches** the AutoCAD NuGet package from the Microsoft NuGet Server.
- **The template project will resolve to the local NuGet package** if it already exists at `%USERPROFILE%\.nuget`.
- **To add the ObjectARX SDK or Civil SDK from a local file disk, edit the project file (.csproj).**
- Add `D:\Arx2025\inc\;$(AssemblySearchPaths)`.
- Select the project from solution explorer and right click.
- A typical .NET plugin project to accomodate AutoCAD, ACA, C3D etc.
