How to Create a MDB File.

[RubenBergs]

Hi All,

I need to create a MDB file as this will need to be used with another program.

So my question is what are the steps to do this, as I really need to know how to do this.

If someone can help me with this I would be very grateful.

MDB files of what? 
You create a model in the modelarea of a dwg file, what should be write in the mdb file?Singlepart-, Mainpart- or Detaildrawinginformation?
There's no button for exporting mdb because this is a database file, maybe they could be a way by exportng a bom list to excel and then import this into a mdf file...but without information about what you gonna want to do, we could not help you

Thank you for your reply,

I need the MDB file so It can be used in a program called Optimus, the MDB file has information related to the model which Optimus uses.

I have been reading that previous version's of Advance Steel used the MDB file but now it's change to a MDF file.

I need to have a solution for this.

Hi @RubenBergs,

You will not get a MDB of the actual version of Advance Steel, this could only be done by converting MDF as @bigcarl5000kg wrote.

Mdb are not used since 2018...

But I could not imagine what information could be used from this file. As I know there're some information about extracts from the model but it's been a while since I looked at it.

The software Optimus is present in environment, what is it used for? Maybe we found another way.

you simply irrevocably borrow data from another system and then implement it highly intelligently 😁
