Development of Case Database of Fixtures Based on SolidWorks

Abstract

This work employs Visual Basic and Access to develop a case database management system for flexible fixtures using coding technology and parameter driving technology. The database management system of fixtures’ cases is built. The secondary development of SolidWorks is performed by VB 6.0, and the system is transplanted to SolidWorks. The system can realize the fixtures’ auto coding, storage, search, display and system management with simple operation and convenient maintenance. The system has a large flexibility as the case database can be expanded and the fixtures’ parameters can be modified according to actual situation of enterprise without limitations of the software.
