SW toolbox parts question.
SW toolbox parts question.
(OP)
I would like to replace fasteners in some assemblies that were genereated with the SW toolbox, is there a way to save a fastener from the toolbox as a new component and break any and all links back to the data base. I want to replace these parts, (part for part) and hopefully have the mates match up. We are having some issues with speed and definitions looking in various places, and have decided to try and just replace these with hard parts in each assy. In particular we are dealing with metric flanged hex head screws.
Thanks in advance.

2) RMB the fastener and click open
3) File\Save as
4) Save it to a new location
5) It will give you a warning letting you know that the referenced part path will be changed if you save this file there (Basically)
6) Click OK. -
Now the link is broken to the Database of TB.
Option to consider:
Maybe you should have the Option turned on under the Toolbox\Browser Configuration (Pull down menu) to Copy the Part file to "XXX" location.

To verify that you are using the copied part, change the length or head diameter, then drop the original toolbox part into a blank assembly, and you will see that your changes didn't affect the original. By using a copied part, you will keep all of your mates.
