Standard Libraries
On the VaultAdmin Standard Libraries
tab, you can add, modify, or delete the folders that store SolidWorks
Toolbox or Standard Library documents. The folders can include any non-managed
data, such as library features and smart content. For each folder, specify
a display name to appear as folder in the vault view.
The vault administrator controls
whether documents in the folders specified on the Standard
Libraries tab can be checked in to the vault, and whether clients
are allowed to delete local copies (see Standard
Library revision management options below).
If a part is not immediately
recognized as a SolidWorks Toolbox part, SolidWorks
Workgroup
PDM asks the following
questions:
Is the
part folder specified as a Standard Library
in the VaultAdmin? If so, is it the SolidWorks Toolbox folder?
Any folder in the Standard
Libraries list that has SolidWorks Toolbox structure is considered
a SolidWorks Toolbox folder. However, only one folder is recognized as
the Toolbox folder. An error message
appears if you attempt to designate more than one folder as the SolidWorks
Toolbox folder.
Is the
part flagged as a SolidWorks Toolbox part?
Any document marked with a flag in the file
as Toolbox is considered a SolidWorks
Toolbox document. SolidWorks Toolbox parts are automatically flagged beginning
with SolidWorks Toolbox 2004.
Does the
part folder name contain SolidWorks Data
or Toolbox?
Any folder that has \Toolbox\
or \SolidWorks Data\ in its name
is considered a SolidWorks Toolbox folder.
If revision control for SolidWorks Toolbox
or Standard Library documents is not required, users should use documents
from a common directory, eliminating the need to check in the documents.

Standard Library revision management
options
Disable
check in of documents. Documents identified as not revision managed
cannot be checked into a vault. To allow viewing of the documents in a
project other than the project from which they are referenced, select
Display referenced files in a separate
project.
Allow
check in of documents. Documents identified as standard library
documents can be checked into a vault.
With this option enabled, the administrator
can delete documents that are not revision managed from a standard library,
This prevents users from checking a standard document into the wrong project.

Local copies of documents that are open in applications other
than SolidWorks are not deleted.
