Macro File Location

Anonymous

I have downloaded some .dll macros, but I can not see them when I open my macro box from the Tools menu. My current project is in C:\projectname\

Where must the .dll file be to use it?

I have clicked on "All application projects and active documents"....

Macros are contained with .ivb files. An Add-In can be delivered as a dll
file. Neither one of them use the project settings. For .ivb files you can
specify one .ivb file to load automatically whenever Inventor is started by
using the Application Options command. On the File tab there's a field for
the "Default VBA Project". Macros contained within the default VBA project
are the ones that show up in Macros category on the Commands tab of the
Customize dialog.

For the functionality of an Add-In to be enabled you need to register it.
This process can be different depending on how the Add-In was made. Ideally
and Add-In is delivered with an installer. At the very least hopefully
there are a set of instructions for you to manually do to register it.
