Copy into part database from another

VONDY
I have a Part Number Database that as I change revisions there is another part number created. So I will have xxx_A, xxx_B etc..., What I would like to do is to copy the data from the revision A into the revision B, as nothing that affects my dimensioning has changed ( paint updated ), they want 100 pieces checked, I have approx. fifty in each folder and would like to have them all together in one so that 1 statisticle sheet can be ran. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

  • I have tried repeatedly to follow the directions listed above, since we have had situations where we have taken parts that we have saved data for and moved them from the job number the data was saved under to a new job number and combined these parts w/ parts from yet another job (these are all the same parts- just different batches) and I have tried to find a way to combine the data from existing databases into a new database, and have not been able to find a way. For some reason, when I try to follow the directions listed above, I cannot seem to get anything other than an error message from Datapage. Could you possibly give a little more detailed direction to allow for my limited intelligence? Just assume I'm a complete idiot and know nothing about Datapage and go from there, if it wouldn't be too much trouble.

    1) Open DPEditor (datapage editor)
    2) Click on Database
    3) Click on ASCII Archive ~ DUMP
    4) Pop-up window will appear
    5) Click on LIST DB
    6) All the 'parts' in the current database will show up in the window, WITH a scroll bar (if needed)
    7) Find the 'part' you want the data from and click on it
    8) Enter a FILENAME in the Enter File Name box, use an 8.3 name, xxxxxxxx.xxx and for the extension, I use ARC, so it would be 12345678.ARC
    9) Click on DUMP
    10) It will now process all the data, and put it in a "TEXT" file with the name you entered in step 8 and it will be located in the Datapage Install directory
    11) Click on CANCEL and the pop-up will close
    12) Open the Datapage install folder (directory) and find the file you just made
    13) Double click on the file (or right-click ~ open)
    14) The VERY first line in the file will be 01 (partname) where (partname) is the name of the part you selected in step 7
    15) Change the name to match EXACTLY the name of the part you want to merge this data with.

    Original part: PART = MY_PART_V1
    New part : PART = MY_PART_V2

    16) Save and close the file
    17) Go back to the DPEditor
    18) Click on Database
    19) Click on ASCII Archive ~ LOAD
    20) Pop-up window appears, type in the name of the file you created and edited in the ENTER FILE NAME box (12345678.ARC)
    21) Click on LOAD
    22) When it is done processing, click on CANCEL

    All the data from MY_PART_V1 will now be in MY_PART_V2 in the database.
