    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks again for the quick reply.&amp;nbsp; No worries on not knowing the exact answer; your suggestion for creating a button (or hot key, as I sometimes do) is great since that eliminates a step while I want to repeatedly access a macro in development.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've tried searching for this, but I'm wondering if I'm not using the correct terminology.&amp;nbsp; When I'm in Inventor and want to run/edit/create a macro, the dialogue box pops up with the drop-down menu for "Macros in:" pointing to a location that I don't want.&amp;nbsp; How do I change that?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;For additional information, it used to point to the correct location where I keep my macros, but I must have changed something recently that changed it.&amp;nbsp; I can still access the correct location in the drop-down menu, but I have to select it every time, even within the same session of Inventor.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/12169285"&gt;@rip2A4H8&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; There is a place within the Application Options &amp;gt; File tab, to enter (or browse for) the location of your "Default VBA project".&amp;nbsp; If you are creating your VBA macros within that default VBA project file, then that is where they will be.&amp;nbsp; Of course you can also create other application level VBA projects, but those should also likely be in the same location, and you can also create VBA macros within documents.&amp;nbsp; If you created the macro in a document project, it will be saved within the document itself, instead of an external file.&amp;nbsp; However, if you are talking about external iLogic rules, instead of VBA macros, that is specified here:&amp;nbsp; Tools tab &amp;gt; Options panel &amp;gt; iLogic Configuration (you may have to expand the Options panel to see this button).&amp;nbsp; When you click that button, it brings up a dialog.&amp;nbsp; You would need to specify 1 or more directories in the upper portion of that.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/7812054"&gt;@WCrihfield&lt;/a&gt;, thank you for the reply.&amp;nbsp; I realized that I might not have been clear enough in my question.&amp;nbsp; In the Macros dialogue box, in the drop-down for "Macros in:," I get three options:&amp;nbsp; DocumentProject, ApplicationProject, and All Application Projects and Active Documents.&amp;nbsp; It's the DocumentProject that keeps showing up first, but since I don't store macros there (and I'm still trying to figure out where the actual .VB file is, but that's another issue), I have to select one of the other two options each time I want to run/create/edit a macro; I'm trying to eliminate this last step.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;OK.&amp;nbsp; I understand now.&amp;nbsp; I do not know how to change the behavior of that drop down list, but I have another tip that might help out some.&amp;nbsp; What I often do when I want to be able to run some macros quickly &amp;amp; easily is add a button to the ribbon for it, that way I can just click it once to run it.&amp;nbsp; To do this, just right click anywhere on an existing ribbon button, then choose "Customize User Commands..." from the right-click menu.&amp;nbsp; This will bring up the 'Customize' dialog.&amp;nbsp; (You can also get to this dialog from the Tools tab &amp;gt; Options panel &amp;gt; Customize)&amp;nbsp; On the right side, choose which ribbon you want to add these macro buttons to from the drop-down list at the top.&amp;nbsp; Then on the left side, choose 'Macros' from the top drop-down list, under 'Choose commands from:.&amp;nbsp; Then you can either drag-n-drop them, or select them, then click the center directional buttons to move them over.&amp;nbsp; Once you click Apply, you will see a ribbon panel called "User Commands" at the end of your other panels with your macro buttons shown within.&amp;nbsp; Now you can simply left click the button to run the macro.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;PS.&amp;nbsp; Just an additional tip...if your macro is set up as a Function, instead of a Sub; or if it is set-up to receive 'input' variables, those will not be recognized as true macros that you can run this way.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
