Finally, you can import the file into the Toolbox configuration and your descriptions will be added to the Customize Hardware page. Imagine being able to add or edit the description of a thread length, screw size, and diameter with the help of using Excel. There is a hidden button in the control panel of the Toolbox and it gives you the option to export data to Toolbox parts in Excel format.įurthermore, through the power of Excel, quickly and easily insert the configuration specific property. The parameter configuration is available through the System Options or in the Toolbox Menu. As for it making a copy of the part is because of an option that is setup in your Toolbox database.
If the 1/4-20 SCHS is not your common fastener, but a 2' one is, then you can make a custom database and you can specify the size. This method is commonly used and known by most users. The DB that does come with SW can be expanded to any size requirement you need. This task is done manually and repetitively, and with each new part addition and size. You must manually add the description and the required part number per size to identify it in the nomenclature of a part. On the contrary, the inserted fasteners do not contain custom properties that you want. Interestingly, if a hole is made using the Hole Wizard/Toolbox it will automatically recognize the hole diameter and depth. In addition, you can right-click and drag the component in the assemblies option by selecting the proper parameters (length, width, etc.).
You can use the Toolbox Browser directly from the Toolbox Design Library task pane, in order to access Toolbox components. The SolidWorks Toolbox Browser is one of the most used add-ins by SolidWorks users, and supports international standards, including: ANSI and ISO.
