The first problem is this :

this is a capture from the project log file

Processed by Computer: ATL107 User name: jperkins[ Status summary ]———————————*error* Acad Failed to start.———————————————–

The failed to start error seems to happen because the current version of AutoCAD takes longer to initialize everything and Scriptpro times out. I will increase the timeout value to compensate.

The next problem is this :

if Scriptpro is able to run and complete the task, AutoCAD crashes every time when Scriptpro is closing the session with this:

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0×0000 Exception at 5380aeh12/22/2008 at 14:28:23.538 Drawing: ————-

So do you have any advice for how to deal with the large memory footprint of AutoCAD and how it behaves with Scriptpro? The error reports that were generated were sent to AutoDesk as well. I hope they get a bunch of them from others so they will update this very useful utility to work with a single session of AutoCAD.
