Call InventorScreen(oApp, False, False, True) ' Minimize Inventor and disable screen updates

End Sub
Public Sub InventorScreen(ByRef oApp As Inventor.Application, Visible As Boolean, ScreenUpdating As Boolean, Minimized As Boolean)

If Visible = True Then
    oApp.Visible = True
    
ElseIf Visible = False Then
    oApp.Visible = False
End If

If ScreenUpdating = True Then
    oApp.ScreenUpdating = True
    'oApp.ActiveView.Update
    
ElseIf ScreenUpdating = False Then
    oApp.ScreenUpdating = False
End If

If Minimized = True Then
    oApp.WindowState = kMinimize
