I have understand how to do in AddIn. Here is part of code: Implements Inventor.ApplicationAddInServer Public Sub Activate(ByVal addInSiteObject As Inventor.ApplicationAddInSite, ByVal firstTime As Boolean) Implements Inventor.ApplicationAddInServer.Activate MsgBox("dll was started!") m_inventorApplication = addInSiteObject.Application appevents = m_inventorApplication.ApplicationEvents End Sub But if I want to create a dll that will be placed in: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2011\Bin\iLogicBin And later called like: AddReference "myvbdll" Is it possible to use ThisApplication in that dll?

Yes, you can use ThisApplication in a dll that will be referenced in an iLogic rule.

(Note that you you should put the dll in

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2011\Bin\iLogicAdd

instead of iLogicBin.)

To use ThisApplication in a dll:

- Add a reference to Autodesk.Inventor.Interop  to your VB.NET project.

- Add the line:

Imports Inventor

to your VB.NET source file

- Add a member to your VB.NET class:

Public ThisApplication as Inventor.Application

- In your rule, connect the predefined object named ThisApplication to that member variable:

Dim myClass As New MyVbClass()

myClass.ThisApplication = ThisApplication
