Launch Application from Inventor with Icon????

[phlyx]

We can add a macro (IVB) to a button definition but is there any way to define a menu button inside Inventor to launch an executable Window's application? We have an executable application that is a compiled VB app to do some file management and we'd like to be able to launch it from within Inventor 9 from a button.

Thanks in advance!

Write a macro like this in your default.ivb

Public Sub Stuff()

Shell "Calc.exe"

End Sub

Then assign it to a button using this tutorial
