You can change the current multiple database, and also the current User and Project during an Isodraft session without having to leave Isodraft and enter Monitor. The MDB command puts you into MDB Mode, where you can use a limited number of Monitor commands.
You can either update the current MDB to save your changes before entering MDB Mode, or ignore any changes made since your last SAVEWORK command (refer to Saving for further information).
