Automatic sizing .mdb

Out of category

Hello everyone,

I am new to a company and alone in the BE.

Anyway today I'm here to ask for help.

I have a sizing of an elevator to do, it has already been done in 3D before my arrival.

The person before me created a file with just a few sides to enter to automatically resize my assembly.

That said, I don't know how to get access to this famous file.

I found a .mdb file that corresponds exactly to what I want but Solidworks can't find it.

Where do I save its path and how do I open it?

I don't know if that's too understandable, and I apologize in advance. (I work under SW 2016).

Thank you!!!

@gt22: I think you're wrong. SolidWorks MBD is made for this past of drawing.

Here, it 's mdb and not mbd. This is an Access data base file. I know that the simulation module creates this type of file. In this specific case, I don't know which module was used.

It is a form   .mdb 

Which I found in the company's database. 

But I don't know where to make it find its way through the file locations.

And also how to open it afterwards with solidworks when I have a lift to resize.

It's complicated... I've been on it for a while.

I don't mind modifying a lifter but in the future if I have others, I'd like to use this form.

Can you send the SW file and the mdb?

@ remrem yes you reason confused the place of the d/b ;-(

If Access Database

So boxes to fill in that have an Excel link  and therefore the quotes are controlled via Excel

So Microsoft Office

Hello 

The files .mdb are managed by DriveWorks seems to me. Try by going through this complement, you should be able to charge it with.

I just tried with your supplement.

Indeed that's right, at least I can open the file and enter my sides.

But for the moment it doesn't work when I validate in my assembly.

I'll let you know if I can change something:D

Hello everyone,

So after using your driveworks tool I had a problem because it couldn't find the assembly to resize so I clicked on the window at the bottom right.

After that I manually found its path and my assembly automatically changed the dimensions I wanted, with a loading time of a few minutes.

Thank you very much for your very helpful answers:D
