To recreate a tooling and feed/speed database if it becomes corrupt

If your tooling or feed/speed database becomes corrupt, you can recreate the databases using the INITDB program.

Warning: This procedure erases any changes you have made to existing tools or feed/speed tables and deletes any custom tooling or new feed/speed tables that you have created. Contact your FeatureCAM support person before performing this task.

To remove your database and recreate it:

  1. Exit FeatureCAM if you are running it.
  2. Run Windows Explorer.
  3. Open the directory in which you installed FeatureCAM.
  4. Open the database directory.
  5. Click in the right-hand contents window.
  6. Click Select All from the Edit menu.
  7. Press the Delete key on the keyboard.
  8. In Windows, select Start > All Programs > FeatureCAM > INITDB.
  9. Select the units of tools you want to add. FeatureCAM does not alter any items that you changed or delete any items that you added.
  10. Click OK.
