It's an iLogic snippet; the iLogic add-in for inventor contains 'shortcut'
snippets which make you type a little less. If you look in inventor
programming help it gives you full/proper methods and properties that would
work without the inventor add-in called if you ever expand to making
add-ins or external .exe's that access Inventor functionality.

Ie; ThisDoc is the shortcut for ThisApplication.ActiveDocment which is
actually an inventor shortcut for a call to the inventor app... which would
have to be called by something like m_InvApp = ApplicationId
(2938-9843-183838-1¥2¥)...... or at leat I'm pretty sure of haha
