Contents

  • Creating Parts

  • Adding Parts to Assemblies

  • Adding Content to the Toolbox Library

    You can add parts to existing Toolbox folders, or create new folders.

  • Toolbox Favorites

    The Toolbox Favorites folder is a local folder where you can store shortcuts to frequently used Toolbox components.

  • Auto Sizing Toolbox Components

    Some Toolbox components can adapt to the size of the geometry to which they are dragged.

  • Configuring Components

    You can configure a standard, category, or type, or single component from the Toolbox Configuration tool or the Configure Component PropertyManager in SOLIDWORKS.

  • Managing Part Number Settings

    You can save part number property settings so you can easily select the same part size later. You assign a part number and a description for each set of saved property settings.

  • Toolbox Part PropertyManager

    Use the Toolbox part PropertyManager to set part properties, such as sizes.

  • Opening Models with Referenced Toolbox Components

    When you open an assembly, SOLIDWORKS® automatically finds references to Toolbox components in your Toolbox folder, even if the assembly is created from a separate Toolbox installation, for example, from outside your company. You can set this behavior, which is applied to all new SOLIDWORKS installations by default, from a Hole Wizard/Toolbox system option.
