Problem

Starting in 2018, CAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM include a Technology Database (TechDB) that utilizes SQLite. However, in previous years, the TechDB used a Microsoft Access Database file. Thus, you may notice importing your TechDB from 2017 into 2018 might be just a little different. This article discusses how to import a Microsoft Access Database file to an SQLite TechDB.

Solution

To import a Microsoft Access TechDB into the SQLite version, follow the instructions below.

  1. Open the SQLite version of SOLIDWORKS CAM 20XX Technology Database or CAMWorks 20XX Technology Database.

  2. Go to the Settings tab

    Select "Import Database"

  4. Choose the "Ms Access" option

    Choose the "Ms Access" option

  5. Now click "Browse" and go to the original Microsoft Access TechDB file (techdb.mdb).

    Browse to Microsoft Access TechDB file

  6. Choose the Data to import and select "Import"

    Choose the Data to import and select "Import"

The old Microsoft Access TechDB is now successfully imported into the new SQLite TechDB.
