    Hi all,
    is there a way to get the current AutoCAD session with VB.Net?
    (as we did with GetObject("AutoCad.Application") in VB6)

    Thanks, Nicola

    This works in all .NET languages as it's a call to the base class library:

    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject(<progid>)

    I believe VB.NET can still use GetObject.

    'Try to get an open AutoCad object
    Try
    objApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application.16")
    Catch
    'Try to create an AutoCad object if the previous request failed
    Try
    objApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.16")
    Catch
    'Error handling
    End Try
    End Try

    No. Better to use Frank's method as using the old VB6 approach causes
    problems when exiting the app
