Create the symbol as described in the tutorials above. In Compiler Settings select Visual Basic .NET
instead of Visual Basic. Open the resulting .vbproj file in Visual
Studio. If Visual Studio shows a message, that it
couldn’t find the referenced Intergraph DLLs: If you still get error messages, it might be that the Intergraph
DLLs are bound to a different version of the .NET framework. Change the
target framework of your symbol project in Visual Studio, e.g. with
Smart 3D 2016 Hotfix 25 you need to select .NET Framework 4.5. If you
can’t select the necessary framework version, you might also need a
newer version of Visual Studio. Run Build ->
Rebuild… Copy the DLL from .\obj\Debug to the SymbolShare, e.g. to \\sp3d10\sharedcontent\Custom_Symbols Go to the Intergraph Project Management and
start Update Custom Symbol Configuration on the
respective catalogue. Bulkload and place the symbol as usual.
.NET symbols
Only Smart 3D 2014 R1 or higher is supported for .NET output!
Please note: The combination of .NET valves and .NET operators is not
supported before Smart 3D 2016 (due to Intergraph
TR-CP-282293).
Double click on My Project in the tree
view, then on the References tab, then
the Reference Paths button and add the path to the
Intergraph DLLs there (usually something similar to C:\Program Files
(x86)\Smart3D\Core\Container\Bin\Assemblies\Release\).
