Material Library
I want to load my materials from 1 computer to another but I can't find the location of this information in the computer anywhere. I have moved all my seed cabinets and draw boxes but would like to move my materials also.
Any help would very much be appreciated.

Re: Material Library
I have looked in that folder already. All that is in there are the materials that came with the software. I am looking for the materials that I added. (sheet goods)
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Material Library
Did you try going in to your search on your computer and ask for sheet goods

Re: Material Library
The sheet material info is in the ecabinets.mdb file. Guess what the "mdb" stands for?
Probably the easiest way to move this information is through the eCabs backup/restore feature. To get the "mdb" file onto the second machine you will need to have the overwrite checkbox selected.

Re: Material Library
I know what you're thinking Joe, but its not "materials database."Joe Dusel wrote:...Guess what the "mdb" stands for?...
It is the extension that Microsoft uses for all database files. eCabinets stores the materials in a Microsoft Access database.

Re: Material Library
If I am not mistaken, your Material Library data is in "C:\Program Files\Thermwood\eCabinet Systems\ECabinets.mdb".
Hope this helps.

Re: Material Library
The correct and "safe" way to do this is to use the Backup/Restore ability with eCabinet Systems. Do a complete Backup on one system then use the Backup Directory from the initial pc as your directory to perform a Restore on your other pc.
