Toolbox Customizing
Toolbox Customizing
(OP)
We are trying to add part #s and descriptions to the toolbox parts so they appear in our BOMs the way we want them to. When I export the list from Tools->Options->Data Options->Edit Standards Data to Excel, add our info, and import it back, nothing changes. When I was showing this feature to another engineer last week, it updated when I imported it.
Anyone have any experience with this, any suggestions?
Thanks

RE: Toolbox Customizing
My advice is to not to use the solidworks toolbox. All your going to do is give yourself a headache. The thing to do is create a part and make your configurations through design tables. Once completed, insert the part into the "Add My Parts Wizard". The parts will show up in toolbox when using assembly.
Please do a search on past threads for more info.

This is how we like our BOM's to read. It lists the part number as the user-specified name for the configuration of that fastener, Then for the description it uses the general description as described above.
