    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;this question is quite simple, since it is up to you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can use both ways to achieve what you want to do.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;An easy way for the end user is to start this "form" via Inventor since he doesnt have to keep any shortcuts on the desktop.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That way, you can build an addin and make some Buttons to make it all easy for the user.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On the other hand, you can also build a standalone application, open Inventor Application and files from it, and do your work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However that second option is slower than the first, since code gonna run quicker inside the Inventor Application via the addin.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, if you need speed, cause you run many times through assemblies components occurrences than pick the first option, otherwise pick the second one.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Best regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;J-S&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>VB.net GUI</title>
      <link>https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-programming-ilogic/vb-net-gui/m-p/5671579#M56558</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm creating a GUI in VB.net to get user input, process the inputs in terurn variables back to Inventor for updating an exiting model which has been around for a while. Basically, I'm trying to add some new automation to an old model to make it more user friendly.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've been reading about what the options are, but I'm still not sure on what the best way is. Do I open Inventor from the GUI (I'm not even sure I can open a specific model that way)&amp;nbsp;or open the GUI from Inventor?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Any advise and insights would be greatly appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
