Answer 1

It seems you need to create a .Net core / .Net standard project not a .NetFramework. Ref: https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/forge-api-dotnet-design.automation.

Answer 2

.net 4.7.1 supports .net standard 2.0 so you should be able to install this package. In fact, I have no problem installing this package using VS 2019 into a .net 4.7.1 project.

It looks like you use VS 2015 so I suspect that this is limitation of VS 2015. Try to use the latest nuget.exe and manually install the package. Or use the latest Visual Studio.

Looks like you've hit the same issue here...

So try upgrade your NuGet to 3.4.4 here.
