Simple Toolbox question
Simple Toolbox question
(OP)
Hi guys,
I'm the PDMWorks admin but don't know squat about toolbox... doh!
Anyhow, when I try to drag a cap screw into my assembly it tells me that someone else is modifying it so I can't do it. Then I found if I right-click on the component in Toolbox and select "Insert into Assembly" it does insert it but in Read-Only status (which I thought all Toolbox parts were read-only). Now, when I try to save the assembly it keeps trying to save the "Read-Only" toolbox part to my local folder using the "Save-As" option, which I cancel.
So, can you direct me to the settings to tell SolidWorks to assume Toolbox is read-only and not lock up the process?
Thanks.

So, I went into the SolidWorks Data\lang\English folder and watched it as I open/close SolidWorks with Toolbox turned on and I see a SWBrowser.ldb file being created when I start up SW and it goes away when I close it.
Does anyone else see that file being created/deleted as they open/close SW?
