 Common Scenarios

When You Need to Unlock MVBA Files

CAD teams often encounter locked MVBA files that need updating or debugging.

Developer

Engineer Left Company

The engineer who created your MicroStation macros has left the company. You own the MVBA files but can't modify the code to fix bugs or add features.

Upgrade

MicroStation Version Upgrade

Upgrading to a new MicroStation version requires updating VBA code for compatibility. Locked MVBA files prevent necessary modifications.

Debug

Macro Errors

Your MicroStation macros are throwing errors but you can't step through the code to debug because the VBA project is password protected.

Workflow

ProjectWise Migration

Your company is migrating to a new ProjectWise version and existing MicroStation macros need updating. Integration scripts, data exchange routines or workflow automation must be modified.

Forgotten

Forgotten Password

You created the MVBA password years ago and no longer remember it. The macros work fine but you can't access the source code anymore.

Audit

Code Review

IT security or management needs to review VBA code before deploying macros company-wide. Password protection blocks the audit process.

 Questions & Answers

MicroStation MVBA FAQ

A MVBA file is an MicroStation VBA Project file containing macros, custom commands and automation code. Developers often password-protect MVBA files to prevent unauthorized viewing or modification of source code, protect intellectual property, or prevent accidental changes to production macros.

Yes. The tool only removes the password protection. Your VBA code, modules, userforms, class modules, references and all MicroStation automation functionality remain completely intact. The macros will work exactly as they did before.

No. The VBA Password Remover works independently without MicroStation. You can remove passwords on any Windows computer. However, you will need MicroStation with VBA support to load and edit the unlocked MVBA file afterward.

All MicroStation versions that support VBA are compatible, from MicroStation 2000 through MicroStation 2025. This includes MicroStation LT (with VBA enabled) and all vertical products like MicroStation Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, MEP, Civil 3D and Plant 3D.

Use the VBALOAD command or VBAMAN (VBA Manager) to load MVBA files. To edit VBA code, use VBAIDE to open the Visual Basic Editor. The unlocked MVBA will no longer prompt for a password when accessing the code.

Yes, but VBA is no longer included by default in recent MicroStation versions. You need to download and install the free VBA Enabler module from Autodesk to enable VBA support. Once installed, MVBA files work normally.

Yes. The tool supports batch processing. Add multiple MVBA files and remove passwords from all of them in a single operation. This is useful for CAD managers maintaining libraries of macro files.

Yes. The tool automatically creates a backup of the original password-protected MVBA file before modification. You can restore the original version anytime if needed.
