Importing Auxiliary Data to the Database

The Auxiliary Data window shows a table with input and output data referenced by nodes in the model tree. In this case, a single row for the CAD file used by the Import () node is shown.

Select the table row, right-click, and select Import to Database ().
3
The Import dialog box shows the file wrench.mphbin in a table.
4
Click OK to import the file into the database.
Select the Import () node in the Model Builder window. The Filename field in the Import section in the Settings window now shows a reference to the file imported into the database.
Finish by saving the model to the database:
1
From the File menu, select Save as Version ().
2
Write Referenced CAD file from database in the Comments field. Click Save ().
