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 or other Developer software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "VBA Project File" formats to IVB without using software like Autodesk Inventor or a similar tool.
The .IVB file is a relic of the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) era, specifically serving as a project container for Autodesk Inventor. Unlike modern .NET add-ins, these files store automation macros, user forms, and class modules inside a proprietary Microsoft Compound File (OLE 2) binary wrapper.
Users typically encounter significant friction here: .IVB files are opaque binary blobs that cannot be read by standard text editors like VS Code or Notepad++, making version control (Git) nearly impossible. Furthermore, because they contain executable macros, they are often flagged by email filters and security software as potential malware vectors. To make the code usable, safe, or archivable, you must convert the internal streams into human-readable formats. For editing and development, the standard target is BAS (Basic Source) or CLS (Class Module). For documentation and archiving without the risk of executing code, converting to PDF or plain TXT is the industry best practice.
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 "VBA Macro Storage" 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 "VBA Macro Storage" 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.
