You are correct, need the .NET SDK, and Extensions to build modules with Visual Studio Code. It’s been a while since I’ve done .NET, I think version 4 had the compiler, you could build with notepad and the command line ugh BTW, I’ve had companies reach out to me to support zero-install Python packages for AutoCAD. They wanted to validate the modules, and block PIP. Basically it’s: 1, Grab Python embedded package from the Python site, it’s a minimal, portable zipped interpreter for Windows. 2, add the most commonly used packages, pyrx, pyopenxl, pypdf, genre specific tools, like shapely, or gdal 3, deploy it as a .bundle. I've been meaning to write something about this, lazy i guess lol

The reason I clean the drawing is I once wrote a program to generate instrument loop diagrams from an excel file. I found the most stable and easy way was not to use a script but stay in the current drawing and from there save(as) each loop. I also made use from templates and also had the option to update the drawing in stead of generating the entire drawing. But at some time some templates had been given an update to a block definition and to be certain the latest version was used I had to make sure the old block was purged. Overkill , some times yes , but in my case it worked as it should. In this case , dxfin , probably overkill , but it doesn't hurt either. I tested it on Bricad 22 and the dwg extension was no problem, it worked as it should. The recommendation from the annoying paperclip oh , sorry , AI its called these days , to pimp the filename and use vla-saveas is not wrong though. Just didn't need it on my computer. Had it gave me an error I would have fixed it but it worked right from the start for me.
