You can check new document or refer Examples code to find the changes then modify your code and solve the error one by one for AC27. For example, API_PenType is not used in AC27, you can find Example code in Attribute_test.cpp

I'm trying to upgrade the add-on to AC27 but I got errors while building the add-on

Hi,

The file is in the following folder of API kit:

"\Support\Modules\CADInfrastructureBase\"

so please check whether you've added the path in your VS project settings.

I added the path but instead of fixing it from 9, I got 89 new errors. But the previews errors are gone. Does this error have to do with the API devkit? Because in version 26 it works fine.

Please try to add the path into your VS project Include Directory like below:

From AC27, many of function names has been changed, so you need to modify your code. here is a header file for your reference. You can also check the API27 documentation about the changes.

Can you tell me more about this "ACAPI_MigrationHeader.zip"? How will I know the correct name to use?

You can search the keyword then find the new name in this header file. for example,  

APIDb_GetCurrentDatabaseID
the new function will be
ACAPI_Database_GetCurrentDatabase()
or try to include this header file into your old C++ file, but I don't want to suggest this way.

I tried including the ACAPI_MigrationHeader.hpp and now all my errors are in that file
