Runtime casting of COM objects in C#

I am working on a application which needs to communicate via COM interface with multiple CAD applications (not in the same time). I want to have nice and reusable code, but I came across problems with type casting of COM objects when I made generic application handle getter method.

What I tried so far:

1. This is the attempt I would like the most if it worked.

   public static TCadAppType CadApp<TCadAppType>()
   {
       dynamic cadApp = default(TCadAppType);
   
       //Here under Dynamic View/Message there is already an error
       //  Message = "Element not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002802B (TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND))"
       // cadVersion.Value evaluates to "SldWorks.Application"
       cadApp = (TCadAppType)Marshal.GetActiveObject(cadVersion.Value);
   
       //Following 2 lines of code are for testing purposes only, i am testing with Solidworks API 
       AssemblyDoc Assembly;
   
       //The exception is thrown when I try to access some method from the Solidworks API 
       Assembly = (AssemblyDoc)cadApp.OpenDoc6("some parametras...");
   
   }
   

2. Attempt using Convert class

   // Another attempt using  Convert class
   public static TCadAppType CadApp<TCadAppType>()
   {
       dynamic cadApp = default(TCadAppType);
       // cadVersion.Value evaluates to "SldWorks.Application"
       cadApp = Marshal.GetActiveObject(cadVersion.Value);
   
   
       cadApp = Convert.ChangeType(cadApp, typeof(SldWorks.SldWorks));
       // Exception is thrown with the following message:
       // Message = "Object must implement IConvertible."
   }
   

I really thought that I am on the right track, since there is an article on Microsoft Docs website explaining how dynamic can help you with com interopt: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/types/using-type-dynamic#com-interop

Any ideas how I can do this runtime casting a keep my code as reusable as possible?

My software setup:

• Win 10
• Project is targeted for .NET 4.7.2
• First Tests are with Solidworks 2019

Turns out that the my coding attempt 1 was valid c# code indeed. I tried it using with Autodesk Inventor, and it works.

So the only thing left for me is to conclude that this is some bug from Solidworks and their COM interfacing.
