Convert Inventor VBA projects (IVB) online for free
The converter easily converts your IVB VBA projects to various formats - free and online. No Autodesk Inventor or other Developer software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "VBA Macro Project" formats to IVB without using software like Autodesk Inventor or a similar tool.
The .ivb file format primarily stores Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro code for Autodesk Inventor. It uses the Microsoft Compound structured storage architecture to package scripts that automate repetitive CAD tasks. A secondary, rarer use case involves legacy game audio, serving as the Jazz Jackrabbit Instrument Bank created by Epic MegaGames for MS-DOS.
Users face major limitations with .IVB files. For CAD users, VBA is an aging technology. The files are binary and proprietary, making them impossible to version control in standard Git repositories. They also pose severe security risks due to potential macro viruses. You cannot simply open an .IVB file in a standard text editor to read the code; it requires a costly CAD software installation. For retro gamers, the audio banks are completely unplayable in modern media players.
To bypass these restrictions, conversion is the best path forward. For VBA projects, convert .IVB to TXT or BAS to safely review the source code and migrate logic to modern .NET add-ins. For legacy game audio, convert to WAV or MP3 for playback, or SF2 for archiving. Drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your IVB file.
Users also converted EMS, IDZ and MDV files.
If you want to convert IVB file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Autodesk Inventor or similar software from the "CAD Macro Automation Code" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to IVB, try Autodesk Inventor or another comparable tool in the "CAD Macro Automation Code" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our IVB converter.
