Exclude Autocad .NET package from the target

[sanzoghenzo]

Hi there! After a year, here I come back at you with another issue 😉

Expected Behavior

Building my project that uses Linq2Acad should not copy over the autocad libraries

Current Behavior

Compiling my code puts the Autocad libraries into my target directory:

• AcCoreMgd.dll
• ACbMgd.dll
• acdbmgdrep.dll

Context

This applies to all the versions, but here's mine:

• Linq2Acad Version: 2022 1.0.0
• AutoCAD Version: Autocad 2022

I had the same problem for on of my project that uses the Autocad.NET package directly, and I had to add the following to the PackagereRerence:

<ExcludeAssets>runtime</ExcludeAssets>
<PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>

The key is the ExcludeAssets, the PrivateAsset shouldn't matter.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a new Visual Studio c# library project
2. add Linq2Acad from nuget
3. build the solution
4. the autocad dlls are in the output folder
