What is an IVB file?

IVB files mostly belong to Autodesk Inventor. These IVB files are specific to Autodesk Inventor and store VBA projects used to automate tasks within the CAD environment.
The files are based on the Microsoft Compound File format, which means they hold several embedded streams that include code modules, forms, and other resources. This structured container is similar to older Microsoft Office documents and enables efficient project management within the Inventor ecosystem.
Key details about IVB files include:

They are designed for automating and customizing Autodesk Inventor workflows.

They hold Visual Basic code that drives custom macros and automation features.

Modifications must be done using the Autodesk Inventor VBA editor to maintain file integrity.

The compound file structure allows multiple data streams to be stored in one file.
