Toolbox File Locations

Toolbox File Locations

Toolbox File Locations

(OP)
Toolbox question, hopefully this is easy.

An assembly was created in the past that used toolbox fasteners.
Since then, we have changed the location of the folder for the toolbox parts.

In the assembly, if I bring in a new fastener, it pulls it from the correct new location.

However, fasteners already in the assembly come in suppressed, unable to find the proper file. They are looking to the wrong location to find the part files.

'Tools'-'Options'-'HoleWizard/Toolbox' points to the correct folder. But the fasteners already in the assy are not looking to that folder and I don't know how to correct it without manually selecting the proper file for every screw.

If I have the fastener open in another window, it loads properly with the proper sizes and properties for each different config.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

RE: Toolbox File Locations

You can create the new fastener of required size and keep them open before opening the assembly. mAnd after assembly has opened up fine, simply save the assembly. The fasteners path will get updated.
