In AutoCAD, vlax-import-type-library is executed at runtime rather than at compile time. The following practices are recommended when using vlax-import-type-library:
- If you want your code to run on different machines, avoid specifying an absolute path in the tlb-filename parameter.
- If possible, avoid using vlax-import-type-library from inside any AutoLISP expression (in other words, always call it from a top-level position).
- In your AutoLISP source file, code the vlax-import-type-library call before any code that uses method or property wrappers or constants defined in the type library.
