Copying and Pasting Toolbox Folders

Next, you copy the ANSI Inch bolts and screws into your custom hardware folder.
If your Toolbox administrator has already deleted ANSI Inch tools, you can follow along with this example by performing the tasks with another Toolbox standard.

  1. Select the ANSI Inch standard if it is not already selected for your Toolbox content:
    1. Click Toolbox Standards in the standards tree, and in the Customize Hardware pane, select ANSI Inch.
  2. Copy Toolbox content in the Toolbox Standards tree. For example:
    1. Expand ANSI Inch.
    2. Right-click Bolts and Screws and click Copy.

    To move a folder or standard rather than copy it, you can click Cut instead of Copy.

  3. Right-click the My Company Hardware folder in the Toolbox Standards tree and click Paste.

    A copy of the Bolts and Screws folder appears under My Company Hardware.

    When you copy and paste Toolbox content, a number is appended to the Toolbox filenames so that they remain unique. Cutting and pasting does not modify Toolbox filenames.
    Copying standard Toolbox content from one folder to another does not affect smart fastener assignment. For each hole type, you can reassign smart fasteners.
