Tool Database

Post by Craig Thompson »

I just upgraded to Aspire 9 whooo hoo. My question for the experts on here is. I was using Vcarve pro 9 before the upgrade. When I open Aspires tool data base, none of my tools are there. I guess they were not imported during the installation of Aspire. How do I get the data base to merge so I don't have to recopy all the tool information I put in Vcarve pro.
One other question, how do I upload my photo to the forum?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to open the tool database in VCarve and use the Export option. You can then import the file into the tool database in Aspire. There are ways of doing it that involve copying the actual DB file directly but export/import is the safest way of doing it.

I presume you mean you want your photo as an avatar? Click the User Control panel at the top of the forum. Hover on Edit Profile and choose Edit Avatar. You load a photo there.
