I've attached a simple example that demonstrates this. There are two
programs attached. One is an add-in that was created using the add-in
template we deliver with the SDK. The only thing I changed is that I added
a new class, which I specified to be a COM class, and added a simple
function to that class. I also added some implementation code for the
Automation method of the Add-In. If you recompile this it should register
the Add-In and you should see it running in Inventor.
The second program creates a Windows application that connects to Inventor,
gets this add-in, and calls the function. This add-in references in the
add-in assembly to get the definition of the class it exposes.
You should just have to compile the add-in, start Inventor, and then run the
second program to see it work.
