You can update all Toolbox components in a single action.
When an assembly contains Toolbox components at the top level or in a subassembly, the assembly shortcut menu includes an Update Toolbox Components menu item.
Depending on the assembly structure, a flyout submenu give you options to update:
- Top Level Assembly Only
- Sub-level Assemblies Only
- All Assembly Levels
To see the Update Toolbox Components item, Toolbox components must be present and you must select the SOLIDWORKS Toolbox Library Add-in.
You can update:
- Toolbox parts that were created using the Toolbox editor.
- User created parts that were added to Toolbox and are driven by a design table, configured feature, or configured dimension.
- Copied Toolbox standards.
You cannot update:
- Suppressed Toolbox components.
- Parts that were Toolbox components but have had their Toolbox flags removed.
- Toolbox components in a Smart Fasteners folder.
Newly added custom properties are not applied to active configurations. Each component with a newly added custom property is flagged with a warning. You must manually edit the component to correct the warning.
