Load custom .net dll inside accoreconsole.exe

I am trying to load my custom .net dll inside accoreconsole.exe (AutoCAD 2016) using netload command but it fails to load the dll.

Below is the output from accoreconsole.exe :

Is there anything else I need to do before loading the dll ?

Solution

  • Check 2 things:

    1. make sure you use only AcCoreMgd.dll and AcDbMgd.dll references
    2. place the DLL at a trusted location, such as AutoCAD (acad.exe) folder or under Program Files folder.
