Reverts back to toolBox version... 1

[TateJ]

We use the ToolBox just to create hardware. Then we save a one-configuration version of that piece to our network hardware folder. But often the assemblies that use hardware seem to revert back to the (shared network) ToolVox version of these pieces! Has anyone else experienced this?

After creating the one-config version, are you removing the "Toolbox" flag?

Thanks CBL...

I vaguely remembered something about this, but it's kinda hard to search for something if you can't remember what it is you're searching for.

C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks\Toolbox\data utilities\sldsetdocprop.exe

Well crap! It's still doing it...!

After running sldsetdocprop.exe...

I can preview an assembly, check the references, and all the hardware paths are correct. But when I actually open the assembly, the hardware is still reverting to the ToolBox version.

More investigation to follow...

I found the solution...!

SYSTEM OPTIONS => HOLE WIZARD/TOOLBOX => MAKE THIS FOLDER THE DEFAULT LOCATION FOR TOOLBOX COMPONENTS
