Does anyone know a way to export Tech DB info to some usable format? I would like to keep a log of the tools and setups created that is accessible at the machine(s). The computer with Solidworks that I design and generate the code is a good clip from where the machine shop is, and I can't find anyway to access the Tech DB info without being able to open up Solidworks. Am I wrong in thinking that this is just simple database info? I tried to open the Tech DB file with MS Access but I cannot, which I understand they wouldn't want you to be able to mess that up as SW CAM relies on that info. But at least let me export the data so that I can do the tool setup at the machine without having to take a snippet of the Tech DB window and hike back and forth 5 times to change stuff. We just have a very basic computer at the machines so the operator or myself can transfer the files off the network into the CNC machines.
The teach db is based on sql lite. It can be imported into sql server and leveraged for multiple users. We currently do not have an export method to excel.
