¶ AutoCAD Extension (Formerly Known as AutoCAD Macro)
Assistant can be extended with custom tasks known as extensions. This extension allows you to customize and automate tasks within the AutoCAD environment. If you primarily use AutoCAD as your design software, this extension can significantly enhance your workflow.
For general information about extension tasks in Assistant, please read our comprehensive guide on Assistant Extensions.
¶ Getting Started
To begin using AutoCAD Extensions, start by adding an Assistant Extension to your task list:
¶ Choosing Your AutoCAD Version
AutoCAD Extensions support different versions of AutoCAD. To ensure you select the appropriate version:
- Ensure you are connected to an AutoCAD instance, and the correct version is automatically extracted from the connected instance.
- If you're not connected, a drop-down menu will allow you to select the appropriate version.
¶ Verified Compatibility
Assistant's package browser mode will indicate whether the selected extension is verified for your chosen AutoCAD version. This verification ensures that the extension is well-suited for your environment and reduces potential compatibility issues.
For more information on using the package browser and understanding compatibility indicators, please visit our Assistant Extensions guide.
