Database access denied when trying to add lm317

I can't add lm317 to my user database

It gives me the error shown in databasedenied.PNG

And I'm trying to add component shown in LM317.PNG

I really need that component, where I can find it?

Hi Valzu_1, 

 

If you select a component from the Master Database, you will not be able to modify the model. Models can only be modified if they are in the Corporate or User database.

 

To copy the component:

  1. Choose Tools»Database»Database Manager.
  2. Select the Components tab in the Database Manager dialog box.
  3. From the Database Name drop-down list, choose the database containing the components you want to copy.
  4. Select the components that you wish to copy. You can use the and keys with the left mouse button to select multiple items in the list.
  5. Click Copy. The Select Destination Family Name dialog box appears.
  6. In the Family Tree, navigate to the database, group and family that you want to copy the component(s) to and click OK. You are returned to the Components tab in the Database Manager dialog box

Ensure the location that your user database is stored doesn't need Admin rights, and if so try starting Multisim as an Administrator. ( You can check this in Options» Global Preferences »Paths »Database Files

 

Let us know how it goes,
Rebecca

I made a new component and manually copy-pasted all properties. And then I edited some of them so it won't recognize the component as Multisim's own component because I think that the component is in database but i don't have access because I have only the education edition.

Btw nice profile pic
