Update the component database
The TARGET 3001! component database is only one single file. It is called: target3001.db After installation of TARGET 3001! you will find it in the directory:
C:\Documents and Settungs\<Your User>\Application Data\ibf\TarV15\<Your Edition>\Database
The TARGET 3001! component database permanently is improved and widened. All users of the current version can free of charge take part. A component database update you will start by:
- Schematic menu Components/Update the component database... or
- Layout menu Packages/Update the component database... or
- in the component browser menu Extra/Online update of the component database
Image: Start the database update e. g. from the component browser.
The exchanges/extensions refer to:
- New components and packages genuinely drawn from the TARGET 3001! staff, with all information
- Corrections to the components being drawn by the TARGET 3001! staff.
- Extensions/addings of data (e.g. component parameters)
- Veränderungen der Datenbankstruktur
Important note: An update of the component database never ever will touch USER components. It's those ones which had been drawn or modified by the user and now are marked with a USER flag. They remain untouched.
With every update of the component database a backup of the current database is done. You will find the backup directory besides the target3001.db. Up to 10 backups are saved. Further updates cause the elimination of the oldes one. A component database update happens by a "transaction". That means that the update in TARGET 3001! is effected not prior to having managed the download error free and completely. In case of a cancellation or a crash of the download you won't damage the current database because it will not be exchanged.
