The following information contains tips and recommendations for the project database (.mdb and .mdb2) files which contain all program and model property information:

  • If an .mdb file already exists in the project folder, the Create Project dialog box does not display when you open your model document. To access the Create Project dialog box, you must delete the .mdb file and re-open the model file.

  • You should back up the project databases regularly. If the .mdb and .mdb2 database files are lost or corrupted, you must re-open your model file and let Smart Review re-create the database files. Not only is load time impacted, but all previously-written data support files (comments, measurements, display sets, saved views, and so on) are lost.

  • When you review MicroStation or PDS projects (especially those containing Large Plant Monument settings), setting options when the Create Project dialog box opens is especially important because these options appear only on the Create Project > Options tab. If you do not set these options when you first open the model files in the Smart Review project, you must delete the newly created databases and re-open the model files to access the Create Project dialog box again.

  • Settings for large plant monument and construction text that exist in the SET file are read in and used during the database creation period. These settings include ignore_dri_old_new_origin, ignore_dri_transform, and ignore_construction_text. If you do not have a SET file defining the large plant monument settings or construction text settings, you can define these values by selecting the Options tab on the Create Project dialog box. For more information, see Options Tab (Create Project Dialog Box).
