Solidworks Vault and Fasteners
Solidworks Vault and Fasteners
(OP)
I've been having trouble with solidworks putting the wrong fasteners in assemblies after you check them out. This only happens when another user check out an assembly. Does anyone know how to set the vault up to where this doesn't happen?

Another user checks them out, then you see the problem...or they do?

Why are you checking in your fasteners? More often than not, fasteners aren't revision controlled and don't need to be locked down. In a multi-user environment, the toolbox should reside on a network drive, accessible by all. Yes, you can assign P/N's to the fasteners as needed. This may be part of the issue you're seeing, actually. Are you using a network toolbox?

When the toolbox is pathed through network using the VaultAdmin, it displays like that.

What if you use a home use license?
If you check something out work on it with you home use license disconnected form the vault and then connect to the vault to check it back in will the vault sync the files to keep the problem form reacurring
