Toolbox and Customs fasteners

Toolbox and Customs fasteners

Toolbox and Customs fasteners

(OP)
I want to Create all of the Fasteners my company uses using the toolbox. I plan on save all of the fasteners as separate files i plan on doing this by creating all of the configurations in one file then exporting the individual files out via vba. It possible to then get the toolbox to reference these exported files. if possible i would like to have the ability to insert the correct clearence and tapped holes also. Any Sugestions

im using solidworks 2008.  

RE: Toolbox and Customs fasteners

Thank you for your suggestion for my toolbox problem.

The other answers I received allowed me to build in toolbox and then export the fasteners as individual files no longer connected to toolbox. This made them parts as tho I built them from scratch and allowed me create fasteners easier and with smaller files that could be controled like any other .sldprt.
