Tool data base disapeared

Post by Allen »

Hi Folks,

For reasons that escape me my entire tool data base vanished, not sure how I managed that.
The file tools.tool_db shows 0 KB.
Is there a place to find the tool table that came with the program to start to rebuild my lists?

Thank you

If you look at the vectric folder under programdata you may find folders for more than one version of the software if you have upgraded at all so you may be able to copy or migrate from an older version of the software.

Martin,

Thanks for responding.
Yes, all I needed to do was rename it and I have my raw tool table back, I have to relist all the tools in my drawer but I have a list to start with.
I'll be backing this one up to be sure.

Thanks again, Allen
