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.
  • Missing fields from earlier database versions are derived from the data in the file you are importing to create all required files (see Component Library Data File Format).
  • Importing the database does not physically move parts on disk. CircuitWorks just adds references to the library.
  • To exchange library information between two seats of CircuitWorks, use the export and import capabilities.

To import parts from a database:

  1. From the CircuitWorks Component Library window, click Tools > Import Data > From Database .
  2. From the Select Database To Import dialog box, select the database, then click Open.
