Toolbox Migration
Toolbox Migration
(OP)
We just installed SW2004. Now, the toolbox does not recognize the database that houses all of the company part numbers that we have assigned to various fasteners. Is there any way to migrate the old (2003) toolbox databases to the new version?
I get an error "Expecting toolbox database version 8.6" or something along those lines when I point the .ini file to the network toolbox library.
The part models (xxx_ai.sldprt, etc) obviously still exist, but assigned part numbers can not be recognized.

RE: Toolbox Migration
Are you sharing Toolbox? We upgraded one machine and so Toolbox would upgrade also. Then we uninstalled and then a new installation of SW on that machine.
We have since bagged Toolbox and are now using the Feature Pallete.

You should copy your SW03 toolbox files to your new Toolbox location if you have installed SW04 toolbox in it's new location that SW04 puts it in. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Solidworks Data
