Need fastener part files (not the ones on 3dcentral)
Need fastener part files (not the ones on 3dcentral)
(OP)
I had a bunch of free fastener models that I used to create an assembly in SW. Like a good little CAD user I backed up my files, but... I forgot that the fasteners were in the "solidworks 2004/data/palette parts" directory and not my working directory.
Now my HDD's crashed and I can no longer pull up my assemblies without massive errors. I can't find the files on 3D Central any more.
Does anyone have some of these in their data directory?:
machinescrew.sldprt
Flat Washers (U.S.).sldprt
socketheadcapscrew.sldprt
Button Head SCS (U.S.).sldprt
Hex Nuts (U.S.).sldprt

3DContent Central is not the only site to find those parts.

Save them elsewhere & link SW to them via {b]Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations[/b]

RE: Need fastener part files (not the ones on 3dcentral)
These models had multiple configurations for different size/length of fastener. I downloaded them originally from the SolidWorks Support area which I think morphed into 3D Content Central. I'm hoping to find the same files so I don't have to spend a couple of days redoing mates.
As for having similar names... those are probably the files I want! Unless you made the model yourself and happened to have named "Button Head SCS (U.S.).sldprt", I'm guessing it came from the SW Support area.
