Toolbox Network Location Moved

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

That's what I thought too and I've changed that location but it still doesn't work.


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.

I do not have SW available to me at the moment so this will be a bit vague, but from the file open dialogue you can get to a screen where you can tell SW where to find each file.

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

After you change your SW System Options, re-start SW.
