Visual CADD™ can run functions from within a DLL through the scripting language. This allows developers to create add on applications in a Windows DLL format and then simply reference functions contained in the DLL. Visual CADD™ will load the DLL into memory and access the specified function. Generally, this is simply done through the Visual CADD™ interface with the Assign Script command or the CMDEXT file. Please refer to Customizing Visual CADD™ for more information this. An application can also launch the routines through the API.

In order to access the DLL function, Visual CADD™ must know the DLL name, the name of the function and any command line arguments required. The command line arguments can only be passed as a character string. The engine then uses this information to launch the specified function.
