Converting Vista DB to SQL DB
| Step | Description/Notes |
|---|---|
| 1. Create a new SQL project with the exact same name as the Vista project. | If your Vista project is in the same location that you are wanting your SQL project to reside then first move your Vista Project folder to another location. |
| 2. With your newly created SQL Project open, go to the WireCAD Project Menu>Project Utilities>Check in Project. | |
| 3. Follow the types in the Check in dialog. Locate the path to your Vista Project. | If your vista project is not in a zipped folder then change the file type option in the lower left corner of the navigation window to the WireCAD Project Locator file type and select the project locator file for your vista project. |
| 4. Once you have the file path selected click next and then click Finish to start the check in process. During the check in process all the data located in your vista project will be copied into your sql database and your drawings will be copied over into the sql project folder location. |
