Can anyone tell me a quick way of adding a top level SITE under an empty design DB using a macro from within ADMIN. I know how to replicate a project, but I have 8 WBS (work breakdown structures) with multiple disciplines. I have created the first two using the forms which allows you to name the SITE (top level element).
I want to quickly create the rest of the databases which will obviously contain a SITE using a macro. It's easy to create the DB and the MDB in the macro but how do I add the SITE within each DB? Is there a way or to I have to painfully create each DB by the forms in ADMIN?
As an example I tried GOTO /DBNAM and then NEW SITE /DBNAM-PWBS1D within the macro but this doesn't work.
I have just used your method Corrado, but the file number in E3D is 19001 and it will not let me create a file number above 9999. I can still create the DB with a lower file number (I used number 5). However the file number is now rtu005 when I really want it to be 19001_1 in explorer. Does this matter, is it just a file name?
Richard, I have seen you opened a S.I. already.
Waiting for a reply from my colleagues, I can anticipate that FINO is not the Database File Number (name of the file). A new DB has a FINO attribute of 0. If you copy a DB it has a FINO of 1.
The FINO maxes out at 9999
So FINO is an internal number and not an external filenumber.
You are correct Corrado. I used the command syntax below
CR DB TEAM/NAME DESI ACC MULTIW CLAIM IMPLI DBNO NO WITH SITE /NAME
But I tried also to add the description to the database and it hasn't worked.
CR DB TEAM/NAME DESI ACC MULTIW CLAIM IMPLI DBNO NO DESC 'NAME' WITH SITE /NAME
the only way around this seems to use two macros in ADMIN use
CR DB TEAM/NAME DESI ACC MULTIW CLAIM IMPLI DBNO NO DESC 'NAME'
then go into DESIGN and add the SITEs from another macro using
NEW SITE /NAME DB NAM
[COLOR=#333333]CR DB TEAM/NAME DESI ACC MULTIW CLAIM IMPLI DBNO NO WITH SITE /NAME[/COLOR]
CDESC DB [COLOR=#333333]TEAM/NAME[/COLOR] |[COLOR=#333333]NAME|[/COLOR]
