doug Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 As of late every time I boot up my GS7 on windows 7 my tool database only shows default. Anything loaded the last time is gone and it does not let me add any, I have to open up a saved file for it to tell me that the tool don't existing and do i want to load them. Any ideas?

beware Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 The database is corrupt. Check in c:/gravostyle7000/config for the file. It has a dbt extension. I think it's GStooldatabase.dbt or something. There should also be a fresh backup copy there. Delete the corrupt one and make a copy of the backup, renaming to match the original file name. Sorry I can't check the exact filenames right now. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Thanks, so now knowing that there is a file for this could one import a database file with a set of tools in it? I seem to have a hard time making one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 You can only make Tool databases in Gravostyle. But you can copy the tool database file from one installation to another and/or keep a backup of the tool database file. GS7 Default tool database attached - copy it into C:/Gravostyle7000/Config Probably not compatible with other versions. GsToolDataBase.Dbt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeegLynn Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 I lost an installation of GS98 to HDD failure and, with it, lost a TLSDB.INI that had a tonne of Gravograph six digit numbered tools corresponding to .005, .010, ..., and diamond. I never built those tools myself so it must have been from the original installer years ago when we bought it from NH. I have no idea how to specify tool characteristics to rebuild the tools I need manually. Reinstalling GS98 on another machine brought back a basically empty TLSDB - default & braille. How can I get at those .010 et cetera definitions for an old GS98 installation? Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I'm afraid the default installation only contains those few tools. I do not have access to any complete tool databases. Building your own tools seems simple enough - in the tool database, select the first tab (conical cutter), enter the values, (width 4.36, angle 15 deg usually, but check for the tool you're adding, and tip size) then type a name and press Save. It's possible that the sales men around the time of install had a file, but I don't have a record of it. Maybe someone else on the forum is able to share theirs?

doug Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Boy, I don't know what I did but there is never any assigned tools when I open up a file. It asked me if I wanted to reload them, I say yes but they are not there when I go to use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Thanks again, Can I put all of these in the config folder at once? The TSLDB.ini, is that a installer file? if so, how to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Use only one of the files, depending on the version of software you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
