Size of the mdb database

mako68 · 2007-12-04, 10:25 AM

Hi,

Here couple of questions...

Is there a paractical limit for the size of mdb database default_cat when working with
AutoCAD Electrical 2008 + MS Access (-> recommended to use SQL).

Is the amout of project drawings in a single project limited to a certain value or is it unlimited?

Has someone any experience of these?

Thanks in advance...

Mako

Have you asked on the Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical discussion forums?

That is the place to go for technical question. I mainly help out with how to questions.

As to my knowledge, there are no limits for either case. It would be practical to not have your project too long for the updates would take forever. If needed, one option would be to add sections and sub-sections to in the Drawing Properties. This way you can sort just those when running a report or updates.
