I am using a RoboClaw 2x7A DC motor controller. It has a .dll file containing functions to access the controller. My question is, how can I interface the ARC software with the RoboClaw .dll library? I see that there is a tutorials for creating a new .dll, but I just need to be able to access an existing one.

You have 3 options.
make an ARC control. That might be out of your skillset range, but here's the info just in case. Always fun to learn

RC Control. Page 50 of the user manual for your product explains how to simply connect the motor controller as a servo. That means you use the existing modified servo movement panel. Here's the manual for your controller: https://downloads.ionmc.com/docs/roboclaw_user_manual.pdf
Serial mode. Page 55 of the above manual explains the communication protocol for using Serial to an EZ-B. The serial would require you to create some scripting in the custom movement panel
Out of those 3 options, i'd choose #2
