Development Advice and Strategy

Hello!  I'm hoping to get some suggestions from some of the more experienced developers out there.  I have been able to create some useful tools that I've bundled into an add-in for inventor. I have three tools that are each a button on a toolbar in a ribbon and perform separate tasks.  I do my development in Visual Studio Community and have one Solution with all the tools in them.  When I build the solution it generates one dll file and the other necessary files for the add in.   

 

What I'm wondering is if this is the way it is typically done?  I'm curious if it is possible or recommended to have separate dlls for each tool, however, I'm not sure how to accomplish this, and I'm finding it difficult to search for resources.  The reason I'm thinking of separate dll/tool is to better control versioning of those tools.   Any suggestions would be appreciated!
