How can I create an MDB Database for:
Details Component
Property Set Definitions
others
...?
Create Database for ACA and MEP
Accepted solution
What would this database do?
Detail Components are already an Access database (mdb), or at least are organized in a database. For most uses, the Detail Component Manager provides the necessary tools to add additional "sizes" to existing items. I would suggest that you really have to know Access well as well as the entire Detail Component system well to go mucking about with the files in Access. I do not possess that knowledge or experience myself. You may find this Autodesk Knowledge Network article a useful starting place in learning more about Detail Components: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-architecture/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2...
I know that years back there were Autodesk University classes on the Detail Component Manager; I imagine you can use Google search as well as I can (maybe better), and will better know what results would be of the most interest to you.
I am not sure how a database fits in with Property Sets, unless you are just trying to compile a listing of all of the Property Set Definitions you use (out-of-the-box and custom) and the Properties defined therein, along with a description of each property. I suppose a database would be one way to do that. I would probably just use Excel, but that is only because I know Excel a whole lot better than I know Access. If I were younger and a lot more ambitious, creating something like that would be useful. These days I have to spend that sort of time keeping up with Revit, Dynamo and a host of other issues.
