<div class="Section1">
<p>This topic shows how to create
<span lang="EN-US" style='mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>add-ins for the 64-bit version of SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional.<br />
</span></p>

Add-ins</STRONG></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US">You must
use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, or later, to create managed (.NET) DLL add-ins.
The build target must be set to <b>Any CPU</b> for the DLL to load
in both 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. Managed DLL add-ins are added to the
vault using the <a href="AdminDlg.htm">Administration tool</a>.<br />

DLL Add-ins</STRONG></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US">A native
32-bit DLL cannot be loaded into a 64-bit EXE, and a 64-bit native DLL cannot be
loaded into a 32-bit EXE. Because SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional gets loaded into both 32-
and 64-bit processes, you must build two versions of your add-in, 32-bit and
64-bit. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US">Native DLL
add-ins that are added to the vault on a 64-bit machine also work on a 32-bit
machine:</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US">SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional creates a single&nbsp;add-in package that contains both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the add-in. The 32-bit version is loaded
in 32-bit processes, and the 64-bit version is loaded in 64-bit processes.</SPAN></P>
