Quadcept : Environment Settings
Database
The Database settings allow you to specify Quadcept databases (*.qdb) to connect to. Two databases can be registered as local-db and master-db. Since a Quadcept database is connectable by multiple users at the same time, you can use your design data in common with the other members in your team by sharing your database.
Also, this dialog allows you to toggle Share / Library Cache between ON and OFF as well as export object information stored in each database and comparison reports between the databases.
For details about how to share a Quadcept database, see Sharing Quadcept Files.
For more details about how to display the setting screen for Environment Settings, refer to About Environment Settings.
Database Settings
What is local-db?
local-db is a personal database that allows users to freely add, delete, edit and place objects. In the database(*.qdb) registered as local-db, you can use each object without any limitations. As this database is necessary for storing each object, it cannot be disabled (always enabled). When any database is not specified here, the default database that each user has will be used for local-db. This database is suitable for each user's workspace because it enables you to freely edit each object.
This is called local-db, but this can be placed not only in a local storage but also in a shared location.
What is master-db?
master-db is a read-only database that only allows users to place and view objects. In the database(*.qdb) registered as master-db, you cannot add, delete or edit any objects. The database is disabled by default, and you can enable or disable it at the Database settings. This is suitable for sharing libraries because this only allows the placement and view of each object.
You can add, delete and edit the objects in the master-db when Allow Editing is enabled.
