<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>What I'm trying to do is sort of weird so let
me see if I can elaborate further. I am embedding IronPython in a .NET assembly
that will later be loaded into AutoCAD. AutoCAD has their own two .NET
assemblies that must be referenced, " acmgd.dll" and
"acdbmgd.dll". These two assemblies are always loaded while AutoCAD
is running so their location isn't really a concern when creating a C# .dll.
However when I want to modify AutoCAD entities from within my IP scripts I must
first load the assemblies from file and path which is a problem because the
file and path are different with each different version of AutoCAD. <br>
<br>
For example their path in my AutoCAD Mechanical 2005 is 'C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\Acadm 2005' but with regular AutoCAD it would be 'C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\Acad 2005'. There are so many different variations that this
path could be that it would be a big deal to try/except load them all from some
sort of init script. <br>
<br>
So basically I'm looking to pass a non-GAC assembly reference from my C#
project to my IP project.<br>
<br>
<br>
Note: I'm fine with the import statements.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>If I have an embedded project can I automatically make .NET assemblies
referenced in the project available to my python scripts? For example I have
two assemblies(not in the GAC) that I have referenced in my project. I would like
them always available to all python files run from this program without having
to do the import clr, clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath('blah') stuff in the
beginning of each file. Is this possible?<br>
<br>
