Renaming a Profile Table

Russ Parker

I have a profile table that contains a number of sizes of a particular shape that is not included in the 2016 Profile Tables. The table name is zzzObsolete_EXT_AISC_HSSSquare and I need to remove the zzzObsolete part so that AS will recognize the table. I have renamed it in the ProfileMasterTable but that doesn't change the name like I thought it would. Where do I change the name and I also need to include those sizes of hollow square tubes in the railing macro. I was shown how to do this several months ago and have since misplaced the information.thank you for your help.Russ

Russ,You can open the profile database AstorProfiles2016.mdb using Microsoft access and it’s located here C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance\DataRun a search for “HSS”Open the zzzObsolete_EXT_AISC_HSSRectangular database and copy the entire lines for the size you wish to useOpen the EXT_AISC14_HSSRectangular database and scroll down to the bottom and paste in the entire line. Save and close the database and the new sizes should be available now. -Andrew
