Toolbox generated fasteners
Toolbox generated fasteners
(OP)
Sometimes when I open assemblies that contain Toolbox-generated fasteners these fasteners explode in size for no apparent reason. I am using the latest version of everything. Is anyone else having this problem?

ToolboxPartFolder=C:\Toolbox Parts
that tells SWX where to look after toolbox parts! Type the new path (same for all users) to point to a toolbox folder that is shared in network. You may comment that line using “;” and write a new line similar with new path. Toolbox is a “configuration base” dBase. To generate a “family” of parts it adds to a single part multiple configurations (see also table driven parts!) every time when you access toolbox. Now, let’s suppose you try to open an assy made be somebody else that use a different toolbox. Your assembly will still find toolbox parts but in your “toolbox parts” folder. If this files have no configuration names like the originals – a default or “last configuration file” will be use instead. As a result, you may see same parts with unexpected sizes.

I had the same thing you mentioned happen to me at a design review, because I was using a different computer, and it took me a while to explain to everyone why my 1/4-20 SHCS was really 4X too big, not to mention embarrassing.
