Activating the Toolbox Add-ins

Once installed, you must activate the SOLIDWORKS Toolbox add-ins.

SOLIDWORKS Toolbox Utilities loads Beam Calculator, Bearing Calculator, and the tools for creating cams, grooves, and structural steel.

SOLIDWORKS Toolbox Library loads the Toolbox configuration tool and the Toolbox Design Library task pane, where you can access Toolbox components.

To activate Toolbox add-ins:

  1. From the SOLIDWORKS menu, click Tools > Add-Ins.
  2. In the Add-Ins dialog box, under Active Add-ins and Start Up, select SOLIDWORKS Toolbox Utilities, SOLIDWORKS Toolbox Library, or both.
    You can also activate the SOLIDWORKS Toolbox Library add-in by clicking Add in now in the Toolbox Design Library task pane.
  3. Click OK.
