After you created the macro,
open up the Inventor plugin button mapping editor.
select 3dxware locate Inventor-ursus and drag it to a button.

Close out of Inventor,
Go to control panel and choose
Add remove programs.
Select 3dconnexion
choose change
select modify or repair.

Now see if the plugin is greyed out.

Sounds like a permission issue not letting the plugin install correctly or being blocked from running.
Go back and rerun a repair this time uncheck the Inventor plugin.
You Navigator will still get detected by Inventor.
You'll have to use the 3dcontol panel to map the buttons.

Hi Uziemblo,

You may have an old Inventor configuration for your 3D mouse driver.

Try this: start Inventor, open the driver Control Panel and select the configuration "Inventor". Return to Inventor and check if the macros show up in the button mapping editor.
