We created a tool which depends on AutoCAD's accoreconsole.exe to batch process AutoCAD drawing files. We have the processing logic in a .NET DLL that will be NETLOAD from the script (.scr) file. It was working fine for the past 1.5 years, but recently after a windows update the accoreconsole.exe won't exit after processing the drawing file. The drawing file is processed as expected. But since the accoreconsole process doesn't exit, it causes our tool to freeze forever.
I could provide a workaround for this by killing the process after a timeout. But it would be better to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it. I couldn't find any valid solution online. I would appreciate your inputs to fix this problem. Thank you.
Our tool runs in Windows Server 2019 which has AutoCAD 2018 installed. The following command is used to run accoreconsole:
accoreconsole.exe /i <dwg_abs_path> /s <script_abs_path>
Script file content -
;Loading the .NET module
(command "_.Netload" <dll_abs_path>)
; Run the command
(command <process_command_with_args>)
