Manual update to anchor DB

[markhubrich]

I use Hilti anchors frequently. It seems the database is a little dated. What is the best way to go about updating. I need to manually edit all reference to HY150 since it isn't made anymore. Should I edit the DB to just replace any instance from HY150 to HY200?

Thanks,

Hi,

If you edit existing anchors then old models that get loaded would be affected. Probably best to Duplicate the anchors (right click on the name in the Anchor section of Management Tools) then edit the new copies. The you have both versions in the database.
