| Database Utilities |
Opens a menu containing the following commands: Compact Database —When you delete data from a HAMMER CONNECT project, such as elements or alternatives, the database store that HAMMER CONNECT uses can become fragmented, causing unnecessarily large data files, which impact performance substantially. Compacting the database eliminates the empty data records, thereby defragmenting the datastore and improving the performance of the file. Note: Every tenth time a file is saved, Bentley HAMMER CONNECT will automatically prompt you to compact the database. If you open a file without saving it, the count does not go up. If you open and save a file multiple times in the same session, the count only goes up on the first save. If you open, save, and close the file, the count goes up. Click Yes to compact the database, or no to close the prompt dialog box without compacting. Since compacting the database can take time, especially for larger models, you may want to postpone the compact procedure until a later time. You can modify how HAMMER CONNECT compacts the database in the Options dialog box.
Synchronize Drawing —Synchronizes the current model drawing with the project database. Update Database Cache —Updates the current model to reflect any changes made in the database. Update Results From Project Directory—This command copies the model result files (if any) from the project directory (the directory where the project .sqlite file is saved) to the custom result file directory. The custom result directory is specified in Tools>Options>Project tab. This allows you to make a copy of the results that may exist in the model's save directory and replace the current results being worked on with them. Copy Results to Project Directory—This command copies the result files that are currently being used by the model to the project directory (where the project .sqlite is stored). |
