hi @dawid.deptula

Using Excel, after adding the library as a reference in the VBA editor the code starts like this

Dim RobApp As IRobotApplication Set RobApp = New RobotApplication

to see example of addins

Unfortunatelly, when I run Robot File, next autocad with adding and try your solution, my program doesn't see active Robot software. I check Project.Visible parameter and it is 0 value.
