Importing Library Data Overview
You can import data into the CircuitWorks Component Library when you first install CircuitWorks or when you recreate an installation in a new location. Importing data avoids CircuitWorks having to recreate existing parts.
- Importing Parts from a File
You can import a text file containing component data into the Component Library.
- Importing Parts from a Folder
You can import all the SolidWorks parts from a specified folder into the Component Library.
- Importing Parts from a Database
You can import all the data from an existing Component Library into your library. Use this capability to upgrade a Microsoft Access (*.mdb) Component Library database file to the SQLite (*.db) format.
- Component Library Data File Format
The data file created by CircuitWorks when you export the Component Library is the same as is required when you import the data file.
