Automatically Create A Inventor Macro Button Using VBA

[isocam]

Can anybody help???

Is the following possible?

I need to add a button to Inventor so that when the user presses this button it will run (for testing purposes only) notepad.exe.

For reference, please see: AutoDesk INVENTOR VBA 36 ( Add Macro Button ) - YouTube

Is it possible to automatically create a macro button using a VBA script that will appear if the document is a part, assembly or drawing?

I need this so that it is easier for me rather than manually creating a button on every inventor workstation, I just want to run the macro.

Many thanks in advance!

This works easier if your are creating an Add-in Via vb.net.
For your example in a drawing to run Notepad I can help you if you want.

Let me know if this is appreciated/needed.

How would the Macro be distributed?

Basically it is possible to insert a button to the GUI via VBA. It is also possible to use iLogic with the event manager to run a VBA macro on your mentioned events. But you would have to set all this up on every workstation. So this is not a real solution imho. 

As Arthur Knoors posted, an Add-in would be better. 

I use VBA macros not an Add-in. Here it works something like this:
Macros are stored in a Default.ivb. This file is in Vault. The users insert the button(s) to the GUI by themselves. If there is a update in the macros I check in the new Default.ivb into Vault. The users can retrieve the latest file via Vault, after I sent an email to let them know.

In the past I used a executable bat file that I have run on every startup of the pc. This executable copies the necessary files from the network to the machine. This way every pc had the latest files always.

Arthur,

Please can I ask if you would create a Vb.Net program to do this for me?

Can I also ask how much you would charge and I can I pay you "up-front" using PayPal?

Many thanks for your help!

Kindest Regards

You only need an add in with a button that run notepad.exe after pressing, correct?
