Setting the Toolbox Root Folder

The SOLIDWORKS application must point to the Toolbox library.

By default, SOLIDWORKS points to the folder specified when Toolbox was installed. The Toolbox root folder can be a local folder or a shared folder.

To set the Toolbox root folder in SOLIDWORKS:

  1. In SOLIDWORKS, click Options (Standard toolbar).
  2. In the System Options dialog box, click Hole Wizard/Toolbox.
  3. For Hole Wizard and Toolbox folder, type or browse to the folder where the Toolbox library is installed.

    This folder contains the Browser and lang folders.

    • For standalone (single-user) Toolbox installations, specify a local folder, C:\Users\Public\Documents\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS Data by default.
    • For shared (multi-user) Toolbox installations, specify the shared network location as a UNC path, for example, \\server\shared-folder.
  4. To configure Toolbox, click Configure. For details, see Configuring Toolbox.

    If you are using a shared Toolbox, your administrator should configure Toolbox.

  5. To close the System Options - Hole Wizard/Toolbox dialog box, click OK.
