Custom Toolbox Standards

You can customize Toolbox content from the Customize Hardware page of Toolbox Settings by copying, pasting, deleting, and renaming Toolbox folders.

Creating New Toolbox Standards and Folders

You can create a new Toolbox standard or standard subfolder by cutting and pasting content from an existing standard or by creating a new folder and adding hardware to the folder.

To create a new Toolbox standard from a new folder:

  1. On the Customize Hardware page, right-click a folder in the Toolbox Standards tree and click New Folder.
    The new folder appears in the left pane at the bottom of the list.
  2. Double-click New Folder to rename it.
  3. Add content to the folder:
    • Right-click existing content and click Copy to copy the content into the new folder.
    • Right-click the new folder and click Add File, and then select a file to add to the folder.
    If Toolbox is managed by SOLIDWORKS PDM, the new files are automatically checked into the vault.

Deleting Toolbox Standards or Folders

To delete a Toolbox standard:

  1. On the Customize Hardware page, right-click the folder to be deleted in the Toolbox Standards tree and click Delete.
  2. In the dialog box, click OK.
If you open an assembly that references a deleted Toolbox component, the assembly opens, but the component is unavailable.
