Part Library Database

You can now store the data which makes up the CADSTAR Parts Library in a Database.  A various range of ODBC's can be setup using the 'Data Link Properties' dialog.

New options in 'File' menu to allow Opening and Saving of the Parts Database. CADSTAR Part Library files (.lib) can be opened and saved to the Database (and vice versa).

No parts index is required.  After editing Parts you can use them straight away. Single parts can be edited and saved (instead of having to edit/save the whole Parts Library).

In 'Library Searcher', part data does not need to be loaded before filtering the search. This speeds up the process.

 CADSTAR Parts Database also allows easier integration with other PLM systems.
