SOLIDWORKS®
Toolbox includes a library of standard parts that is fully integrated with SOLIDWORKS. Select
your standard and the type of part you want to insert, then drag the component into your
assembly.
You can customize the Toolbox library of parts to include your company's
standards, or to include those parts that you refer to most frequently. The Toolbox library
contains a folder of master part files for supported standards along with component size and
configuration information. When you use a new component size in SOLIDWORKS, Toolbox updates
the master part file to record the configuration information or creates a part file for the
size, depending on your user preference.
Toolbox supports international standards, including: ANSI, AS, GB, BSI,
CISC, DIN, GB, ISO, IS, JIS, and KS. Toolbox includes the following hardware:
- Bearings
- Bolts
- Cams
- Gears
- Jig bushings

- The fasteners provided in Toolbox are approximate
representations and do not include accurate thread detail, which might make them
inappropriate for certain analyses such as stress analysis.
- Toolbox gears are representations for machine
design purposes. They are not true involute gears that you can use for
manufacturing.
- Rack gears must have fewer than 1000 teeth.
