When Toolbox migration is complete, instruct users to delete existing
Toolbox paths and use
SOLIDWORKS PDM File Explorer instead of
SOLIDWORKS to check in assemblies that use Toolbox parts.
Users
must:
- Remove existing Toolbox paths from SOLIDWORKS Referenced Documents folder lists:
- In SOLIDWORKS, click .
- For Show folders for, select
Referenced Documents.
- Under Folders, select old
Toolbox paths and click Delete.
- Click OK.
- Check parent assemblies into the vault using
SOLIDWORKS PDM File Explorer.
Checking in assemblies from the SOLIDWORKS add-in is less convenient than
using SOLIDWORKS PDM
File Explorer because you must open each assembly in SOLIDWORKS before
checking in.
Because SOLIDWORKS searches for Toolbox parts in the
vault first, SOLIDWORKS updates Toolbox references to the new vault location
automatically. If you open earlier versions of your assemblies, SOLIDWORKS automatically
updates those Toolbox references as well.
To confirm
that an assembly is referencing Toolbox parts in the vault, open the assembly in
SOLIDWORKS and click .
