Gtol network location
Gtol network location
(OP)
Is there any way to point SolidWorks to find the gtol.sym file on a network location rather than solidworks/lang/english? We are planning on implementing custom symbols to the gtol library.

That would make for a good ER. Anything which can be modified should be able to be copied outside of the SW install folder and referenced by the File Locations option.

1. Allow user to change the file location for gtol.sym within the File Location area under Options.
2. Provide a graphical interface to allow users to create new gtol.sym with an image, and/or provide a method to convert sketches into gtol.sym symbols.
3. Allow gtol.sym symbols to be edited on the fly while running SolidWorks. Currently, for edits to symbols to be realized, S/W must be exited and restarted (which can be very tedious if multiple edits are required).
I invite everyone who agrees with these submissions to submit each for themselves to get this issue some attention.

I'm not a network admin, and I don't have access to everyone's computers via the network. This is something I have to set up at the time of installation with a .sldreg file.

By playing with the numbers a little you can move the symbols over so that the space is eliminated, tedious, but it can be accomplished.
