Solidworks Toolbox Issue
Solidworks Toolbox Issue
(OP)
Hi,
This is in line with the "thread559-309197: Toolbox copied parts regressing during upgrade to 2011.".
I understand whatever has meen discussed over there regarding the issue of Solidworks Toolbox.
I used to face the same issue and we couldn't figure out the reason still.
I have added fasteners to my assembly from toolbox by "create new part" and I used to save each fasteners in the same folder where I have my assembly files and with customized name and the assembly looks fine. But When I open the same assembly the next day it again takes the toolbox link and the fasteners are LOOKING BIG IN SIZE.
We have tried unchecking the default location for fasteners in options but it didn't work as expected. We used to have this issue sometimes when we open the assebmly file in different user also. And also we never upgraded from one version to another. We always uninstall the old version completly and install the new version.
I don't know whats wrong with Solidworks in this regard.

I gave up on the toolbox a very long time ago. It did not play well back then with multiple users, and it did not conform to our in-house BOM format.
I had a horrible time recently when I inherited a very large assembly with sorts of McMaster Carr files complete with threads modeled as helices. If I had it all to do over again, all the screws would be based on the same model, and I would be able to swap files within the assembly.

Before also I decided not to use toolbox. One time later I used it and when the trouble again happened, I went to Twitter and wrote this post:
