Managing the Toolbox Database File

You can manage and deploy the Toolbox Database file on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Toolbox Resources option on the Settings page.

The settings automatically deploy at login, and all the users work in a defined way. This option is available for SOLIDWORKS 2022 and later versions.
You must be a platform Administrator user to perform this task.

To deploy the Toolbox Database file in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform:

  1. Use this method from a SOLIDWORKS session.
    1. In the Task Pane, on the 3DEXPERIENCE tab, click the Compass.
    2. Under My Apps, click Collaborative Spaces Control Center.
    3. From the Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center widget, browse to CAD Collaboration > SOLIDWORKS > Settings > Resources > Toolbox
    If you start from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, there are multiple ways to do this task. For example, under My Cockpits, click Platform Management. On the Content tab, use the Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center widget as described in step C.
  2. Use Browse to locate the file.
  3. Click Upload to upload the file.
  4. Click Download to save the file on your machine.

    The downloaded file is available at %LocalAppData%\DassaultSystemes\CATTemp\ENOUSWC\Resources\<TeantID>\Toolbox\TBDatabase.zip

When you upload a Toolbox Database file, the platform creates a XCADResource object.
  • If a new settings file uploads, the file attached to the XCADResource object updates with the new file.
  • If you want to remove the Toolbox Database file, delete the XCADResource object.
