Since now, I was writing only Ilogic Rules. But lastly they become much bigger. I wrote rule for creating sheet  numbers for whole project and for counting sheet with the same parts. Now I'm want to write rule for sheet sorting (based on sheet number).

As i have read (I have also tested it), creating standalone rule is much easier than creating an add-in. For example, you are crating any desktop app. In this app yiu can connect to inventor by:

Dim inventorApp As Inventor.Application = Nothing
Try
            inventorApp = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Inventor.Application")
Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Lunch inventor first",, "No inventor instance")
End Try

If you have inventor object, you can do everything with fast debuging. After you will develop all the code, you can move heart of the app to add-in template (and add all the necessary user interface). 

I have created this topic, because I was hoping, that there is a trick for fast debuging an add-in.

Thank you very much for your responses.
