Macros not loading on startup, need to change default settings

I have 2 macros in Module 1 under Default.ivb, but the hotkeys do nothing until I open Macros from Tools and select Default.ivb from the dropdown menu.

 

Why does this menu default to "DocumentProject", the active document? Is there any way to make this menu default to Default.ivb? How do you make it so that a macro hotkey will work automatically when you open any document?

Hi @max_graubert.  I don't think we users have any control over the order that they appear in that menu.  That behavior is designed by the folks at Autodesk.  Is that project named "Default.ivb" a project that you created or is it the main application project?  I think the macro's may need to be in the main application project, instead of in a user project before the 'hot keys' will naturally/automatically work on them, as expected, but I am not 100% sure.  Have you recently migrated from an older version of Inventor to a newer version?  If so, are you still pointing to the exact same file for that VBA project as it was before?  You can check within your Application Options > File tab, where it is asking for "Default VBA project.
