Getoject("inventor.application") creates a new inventor session

• Why is it the case that in ilogic Getoject("inventor.application") creates a new inventor session?

Hi @bradeneuropeArthur.  I am not sure why that might be happening.  When using GetObject method, did you provide an empty String as the first input, then "Inventor.Application" as the second input?  If not, that may be why it is doing that.  I just tested the following code in an iLogic rule, and it worked just fine for me using Inventor Pro 2024.0.1 version.

Dim InvApp As Inventor.Application = Nothing
Try
	InvApp = GetObject("", "Inventor.Application")
	Logger.Info("Running Instance Of Inventor Application Found")
Catch
	InvApp = CreateObject("Inventor.Application")
	Logger.Info("Created Instance Of Inventor Application")
End Try
If InvApp Is Nothing Then
	Logger.Debug("Inventor Application Not Found")
Else
	Logger.Debug("Inventor Application Found")
End If

Than this is a bug.

Please @johnsonshiue could you and your team take a look at this.

The code sample posted by @WCrihfield as to work because is the right implementation, but you didn't post your code.

Maybe your code is buggy, would you like to show your code to us?
