Toolbox Network Location Moved
Toolbox Network Location Moved
(OP)
Due to a restructuring process from our IT department, our Toolbox library was moved to a new folder on or shared network. Sames drive just a different folder. I expected all Toolbox components to show as suppressed when opening an older assembly file but I'm not able to unsuppress and select new location. Is there any way to instruct Solidworks to search within the new location when a Toolbox fastener is missing?
Thanks in advance

RE: Toolbox Network Location Moved
You should be able to go into your System Options and tell it where to look for the Toolbox folder. See the attachment. You will need to do this for each installation of SolidWorks.

I've now discovered that I can right-click and open a suppressed faster, keep it open, go back to the assembly and unsuppress the fastener. Not the ideal way since each unique fastener type has been done one-by-one.

You might also try adding the new toolbox location to the search path for external references.
