With
the release of SolidWorks 2007 there have been many improvements.
One of those improvements that I feel will make every users
job a little easier is something that SolidWorks has added
to Toolbox.
In the past if you were working with a customer who used Toolbox
and they sent you a set of files without the Toolbox parts
you would end up with list of hardware configurations that
Toolbox did not recognize, like the one shown below. Once
you select OK to this dialog box you would then end up with
an assembly full of randomly sized hardware. Also if you have
ever taken a set of files home with you and did not have the
same size of hardware on your home computer you would once
again end up with a list of hardware that Toolbox would not
be able to create.
Now with SolidWorks 2007 this is no longer an issue because
Toolbox will now give you the following dialog box for each
piece of hardware that it does not find in its database.
By clicking Yes to this dialog box SolidWorks will automatically
generate the configuration of each Toolbox item. This new
functionality will now eliminate all of the work you would
have to go through to recreate each of the missing configurations.
