Issue
I am creating and running an add-in application with the AutoCAD .NET API, but after applying the AutoCAD 2020.1 Update, IExtensionApplication.Terminate() is no longer called.
The same is true for AutoCAD 2020.1.2 Update and AutoCAD 2021 including all updates.
Was there a specification change?
Solution
The new feature add-in Save to Autodesk Web and Mobile introduced in AutoCAD is conflicting with other plugins unloading mechanism.
We have two solutions to fix this -
If you are not using the SAVETOWEBMOBILE command, uninstalling the Save to Autodesk Web and Mobile add-in from the Windows Control Panel.
If you are using then enter the command SAVETOWEBMOBILE on AutoCAD Command Line Interface, it will pop up for update.
Please go ahead and update.
(thanks for pointing out -Norman Yuan)

Some properties return array of IDispatch which cannot be used in vbscript of formula definition, for instance the attributes returned by BlockReference are of VarType 8201 which is indicates an array of IDispatch pointers.
Using ConvertToVariantArray can convert it to array of variant so that the elements can be reached in vbscript, just like the way how it converts a point value (array of double).

This question is coming from one of our beloved Forum contributor and Mentor Alexander Rivilis
I am working with code which change color of Intersection Fill of Live Section. But although the color is changed, but this is not visible on the screen until I turn off and turn LIVESECTION:
I made slight changes to have this working
Note: To work this make sure LIVESECTION is not turned on
This code will change color of SECTION which converted to LIVESECTION
public void SetSectionColor()
{
Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
if (doc == null) return;
Editor ed = doc.Editor;
PromptEntityOptions peo =
new PromptEntityOptions("\nSelect section: ");
peo.SetRejectMessage("\nIt is not a section!");
peo.AddAllowedClass(typeof(Section), true);
PromptEntityResult per = ed.GetEntity(peo);
if (per.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return;
ObjectId idSecSets = ObjectId.Null;
using (Transaction tr =
doc.TransactionManager.StartOpenCloseTransaction())
{
Section sec =
tr.GetObject(per.ObjectId,
OpenMode.ForWrite) as Section;
sec.IsLiveSectionEnabled = true;
idSecSets = sec.Settings;
tr.Commit();
}
using (Transaction tr = doc.TransactionManager
.StartOpenCloseTransaction())
{
SectionSettings secset = tr.GetObject(idSecSets,
OpenMode.ForWrite) as SectionSettings;
secset.CurrentSectionType = SectionType.LiveSection;
Color clr = secset.Color(SectionType.LiveSection,
SectionGeometry.IntersectionFill);
ColorDialog cd = new ColorDialog
{
Color = clr
};
System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult dr = cd.ShowDialog();
if (dr != System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) return;
ed.WriteMessage("\nSelected Color: " + cd.Color.ToString());
clr = cd.Color;
// Define that color we change
secset.SetColor(SectionType.LiveSection,
SectionGeometry.IntersectionFill, clr);
tr.Commit();
}
}
