PLC Database mdb file issue (Editor Undefined Types)

[dmytro_rozhkovych]

I needed to add new parametric AB safety module which would assign input numbers based on sheet line. So I created copy of original ACE_PLC.mdb in the same directory and added new entries with reference to location of new blocks. After re-opening autocad and trying to insert new parametric safety input module it was giving me error "Undefined Terminal Types". So went back old file and now all input modules on all plcs give the same error. In my understanding something else got corrupted and I inadvertently changed something I shouldn't. I am wondering if there is any way database can be restored, without reinstalling the whole software? I am running 2018.

We'd need to see the database to check if it can be fixed.
You can always zip it up and attach it to a post here.

I attached ACE_PLC.mdb file. I would really appreciate help, don't want to reinstall software.

There's nothing wrong with the database. 

This leads me to think something else has happened.
The file wdmbblks.sbf should be somewhere in the support file search paths of AutoCAD Electrical. Normally, you would find it in the Support-folder in %APPDATA%.

This is the file that contains the valid building blocks of the parametric PLC builder:

I couldn't locate wdmbblks.sbf anywhere on my machine. Would this be reason for PLC Database File Editor not to work properly even mdb file is ok? Is it possible to restore this file. I am pretty sure I didn't deleted intentionally or knowingly. Thank you.

The file extension is bsf. Sorry.
Type %APPDATA% at the address line in windows explorer, and navigate into the Autodesk amd AutoCAD Electrical folders to find the support folder.

Hello. Thanks for explanation where to find this file. Yes, it is located in AutoCAD Electrical support folder. I opened it with NotePad and it only contains parametric blocks which I tried to add, nothing else. My understanding that this file normally should contain all parametric blocks. Is there any way it can be restored?

Hello.

I restored file from different machine, I guess AutoCad locates all support files in the same location, and now PLC PLC Database file editor works, and have all parametric blocks back.

Thank your help with this issue.
