Guest Mark Flamer Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have some tools I want to develop for VW. I have explored VS and am impressed with how simple the language is. Most of my programming experience is using C# and .net. I am considering using c++ and the SDK to develop my plugins. The switch from C# to C++ doesn't look too bad. Just have to get the hang of these header files, prototypes and pointers and I'll be in business. To get started I have installed VisualStudio C++ express 2005 but cannot get the sample file "Sample Object" to build. Does anyone have any idea why? I can provide more system info if necessary. Thanks. I just don't want to spend too much time in Vector Script only to find my self limited later. Quote Link to comment

Guest Mark Flamer Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Still stuck on getting started with the SDK. I have tried to open the sample solutions on a few machines running different versions of windows and Visual Studio. I get the same error each time. The following error has occurred during XML parsing: File: C:\Documents and Settings\Mark Flamer\Desktop\SDKVW1500(112122).Win\SDKVW1500(112120)\Source\Sample\SampleTool\SampleTool.vcproj Line: 24 Column: 4 Error Message: Property sheet file '..\..\..\..\Source\SDKLib\Include\OnlyWin\NNA_GlobalBuild.vsprops' was not found or failed to load. The file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Mark Flamer\Desktop\SDKVW1500(112122).Win\SDKVW1500(112120)\Source\Sample\SampleTool\SampleTool.vcproj' has failed to load. I'm not sure if this is a silly error on my part not being fully familiar with C++, or something else. I would really appreciate any help I can get. I'm confident that if someone could just point me in the right direction I could get productive pretty quick. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Vlado Posted September 9, 2010 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hi Mark, are you still fighting with this? Anyway, open the cproj file as text file and change the path to NNA_GlobalBuild.vsprops, the correct one is: ..\..\..\SDKLib\Include\OnlyWin\NNA_GlobalBuild.vsprops Regards, Vlado Quote Link to comment
Guest Mark Flamer Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Vladislav, I had given up hope. I will try that. Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment
