Configuring Components with the Toolbox Configuration Tool

The Toolbox configuration tool opens to the Customize Hardware page for the component or folder you selected.

To configure components with the Toolbox configuration tool:

  1. In the Design Library task pane, under Toolbox , select the parent folder of the component or folder you want to configure.

    For example, to configure all ANSI inch hex-head screws, expand Ansi Inch and click Bolts and Screws.

  2. In the lower part of the Design Library task pane, right-click a component or folder and click Configure.

    For example, right-click Hex Head and click Configure.

  3. If Toolbox is managed by SOLIDWORKS PDM, click Yes to check out the Toolbox folder.

    To configure Toolbox components, you must have sufficient permissions to check out the Toolbox folder.
