Here are the basic steps I've found works to write an ac3d plugin in Visual Studio (using version 6):

1. Create a DLL project
2. Include the ac3d.lib library
3. Include the ac_plugin.h file
4. In Project settings:
Add "WINDOWS" (without quotes) to "Preprocessor definitions" in C/C++ tab
Set "Output file name" to [projname].p in Link tab

If you follow all of these steps, it *should* work.

I learned to use the AC3D plugins by copying off and editing the "test.c" code that came with the plugin samples in the "dev/plugins" folder. Can you get that code to work for you?

EDIT: Changed the ac3d.h file to ac_plugin.h
