Grasshopper
Grasshopper > AutoCAD Open Source Plug-In
I have released an open source plug-in which allows Grasshopper to send commands directly to AutoCAD using COM. I have tested this on my machine running AutoCAD 2011 64-bit on Windows 7.
I have released the source code so hopefully the bones can be used for different purposes and software versions.
If you develop a cool use for this, let me know! I would love to feature it.
Enjoy!
The plug-in and source code are available at the Slingshot! development website...

Dear Nathan:
Thanks for your post, i just downloaded the files.
I copied the assembly file on the grasshopper folder, as any other add on
But what about source code?
How are those files installed?
I cannot make it work
Thanks again
Best

Mario,
The source code is a Visual Studio 2010 project folder. You will need Visual Studio Pro or Express to open the files and modify the plug-in code.

Nathan.
Sorry for the ignorance, never used Visual Studio.
I have attached an image of what i am getting right now.
Do I have to execute something in Visual Studio, install a file or something?

Mario,
It looks as though you are using AutoCAD 2010. I have only tested the plug-in on machines with AutoCAD 2011. The message you are getting means that the plug-in cannot find the proper version of a reference assembly. In Visual Studio, you may need to reference your AutoCAD 2010 Type Library (the current plug-in was built with references to the 2011 assembly). After doing this, you will need to "Build" the plug-in for use with your older version of AutoCAD.
