Set Default Writable Database

File→ Manage Databases → Database Management            Shared Dialog Box
Sets the Default Writable Database. Learn about Managing Databases.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Database Name
Select the database name you want to set as the new default destination for writing.
Note: The menu may not contain a complete listing of all databases in the database search list, as there may be some which are read-only and thus cannot be used as the default writable database.
Update Private Config File
Select to also update the Default Writable Database in the Private Config File (.cfg)
Note: If the Private Config File (.cfg) is not updated with the session database configuration, external processes like interactive and background Adams Solver analyses will not be able to resolve alias paths to files stored in those databases, e.g. tire property or modal neutral files referenced in the Adams Dataset (.adm).
Database Info
Select to display a list of the search directories, including their search level, database name, and database path.
