VBA of Inventor 2014 cannot work

By Xiaodong Liang

Issue:
I migrated my VBA macro to Inventor 2014. If I click the VBA Editor button on the Tools tab of the Inventor Ribbon NOTHING happens, the editor does not appear. If I click the Macros button on the Tools tab of the Inventor Ribbon NOTHING happens. I do not get the Macros dialog to select any of my macros.

Solution:
This should be the known issue with Office 365.

From the article:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=21910314&linkID=9242018

Installing Office 365 will remove VBA 7 modules from your computer, leading to the following:

  • Error messages are shown during Inventor 2014 launch
  • Unable open any document from Inventor 2014
  • Error messages are shown when executing VBA commands from AutoCAD

    Standalone
    :
  • Close Inventor session and manually install VBA7 from Inventor source media:

    64-bit

    Install VBA7 from "3rdParty\x64\VBA\Vba7.MSI" .

    32-bit

    Install VBA7 from "3rdParty\x86\VBA\Vba7.MSI" .

    Deployment:

    64-bit

    Deploy VBA7 installer to the client from "3rdParty\x64\VBA\Vba7.MSI".

    32-bit

    Deploy VBA7 installer to the client from "3rdParty\x86\VBA\Vba7.MSI".
