    All,

    Does this seem strange? I thought vl-load-com isn't needed with later versions.
    Apparently it is when running ADT as AutoCAD 2006. Though it seems it's not needed
    when running ADT 2006 as ADT.

    Under virgin ADT as AutoCAD 2006:

    Command: (vlax-get-acad-object)
    ; error: no function definition: VLAX-GET-ACAD-OBJECT

    Command: (vl-load-com)

    Command: (vlax-get-acad-object)
    #<VLA-OBJECT IAcadApplication 00c2db8c>

  2. Hi Joe,

    I use AutoCAD 2005 and when I did the installation, I did not installed the expresstools and by doing that, I have to always do a (vl-load-com).... every time I want to have the active-x extensions loaded.

    LE.

    Hi Luis,

    I'll check that out. I think ET was not installed on the machine where I saw this
    behavior.

    BTW, does anyone other than myself wonder why ET remains separate from core AutoCAD
    in recent versions?

    Thanks
    Joe
