Topic: IExtensionApplication.Terminate() called on fatal error

[Jeff H]

Does IExtensionApplication.Terminate() get called on fatal errors?
Maybe your app or AutoCAD caused the error but does anyone have examples where it was not called?

I'm not sure. Can't you create a fatal error (editing a line which is read only or something like that) and see what happens?

I always use a Try..Catch and log the error in a logfile in the Catch part. If something is wrong during initializing I get the error at least via the logfile, because AutoCAD kills the process silently in the Initialize part.

I could, but was trying to get feedback from others if consistent.

I very much doubt that it is, although it could depend on how AutoCAD terminates. If there's a dialog that asks if you want to save the file (which rarely succeeds), it might, but with the more unceremonious forms of termination, it's very unlikely.
