title: How can I improve the speed of .NET Plug-in Development?
body: <p>I'm developing an AutoCAD add-in, which uses a .NET 4.6 assembly. I am finding the development process very frustrating; the API is very large and the documentation beyond getting started is all over the place and very hard to find. The only way to get anything done seems to be just prototyping functions in Visual Studio and seeing if it works. It then takes several minutes to load up AutoCAD and attach a debugger, which wrecks my prototyping workflow. </p>
  
  <p>It would be very handy if I could have something like Linqpad to prototype my applications so I can find the data that I'm looking for. I'm not married to the idea of using Linqpad; however, if there's another technique I'm missing I'd love to hear about it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not sure if this is something I might achieve with the pro version but as there is no trial I can't find out. </p>
