ACA_db will improve the BIM process and experience and will improve quality of your data and remove redundancy and conflicts of data.
Make use of AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD MEP or AutoCAD Civil 3D more fully in your BIM process. Property Set values can automatically be updated back and forth to one or many external databases. If you make changes to the Extended Data values within a Property Set they can be synchronized back to the external database. Any Property in a Property Set Definition can be exported and all editable Properties can be imported.
The DLL needs to be loaded by your AutoCAD application and that can be done in different ways. Use one of the following options.
Prepare the database that holds information on what properties to synchronize and where. See ACA_DB-UserManual.pdf on how this is achieved.
Make sure there is an UDL file (data source) that points out the location of the main database.
In the CAD program use ACADBSETTINGS command to specify what data source to use as the main database.
Run the ACADBMAKE command to make new/existing drawing possible to sync.
Now use either of the commands ACADBOUT or ACADBIN to sync information into CAD or out from CAD.
The command line will show full details on if there are any problems and what data has been synchronized.
