When you open an assembly,
SOLIDWORKS®
automatically finds references to Toolbox components in your Toolbox
folder. This occurs
even
if you created
the
assembly
from a separate Toolbox installation, for example, from outside your company.
You can specify this behavior, which applies to all new SOLIDWORKS
installations by default, from a Hole Wizard/Toolbox system option.
To open models with referenced Toolbox components:
- Click Options
(Standard toolbar).
- Click Hole Wizard/Toolbox and select a folder for
Hole Wizard and Toolbox folder.
- Select Make this folder the default search location for Toolbox
components.
The system option Make
this folder the default search location for Toolbox components is useful
when you open models whose Toolbox components do not reference your Toolbox folder. If
you clear the system option, SOLIDWORKS does not automatically search the Toolbox folder
for references to Toolbox components.
