I have a complex AutoCAD ObjectARX project. It contains 3 configurations. These configurations change some include locations according to the version of target AutoCAD.
My problem is when I switch between configs I have to rebuild VA symbol database. It takes several minutes. (Close VStudio, restart and wait VA to finish parsing)
I'd like to not to do this everytime. Is there a solution?
Install VA X and load one project. Wait until parsing is finished. Exit your IDE and move the VA X installation directory aside. Reinstall VA X and load the next project. Move the VA X installation directory aside. Repeat for the 3rd project.
When you want to switch projects, exit your IDE and move the proper VA X directory into place.
We have some AutoCAD application. All app runs under AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006. All the AutoCADs have different API library. When I edit the sources I have to test all the target AC versions. So it is boring to exit every ten minutes to switch between different configurations and wait to reparse.
Maybe a next VA relesase could have some kind of configuration switch solution. This is not solveable now. Maybe in the future.
