Configuring Toolbox:

In this episode I discuss how to use the new Toolbox Configuration tools to properly setup SolidWorks Toolbox as well as some common approaches to using this tool with groups. Topics covered:

- Brief overview of SolidWorks 2009 SP1.
- Introduction
- 2009 Toolbox Settings Wizard
- Setup options
- Shared Toolbox setup tips
- How to share with outside groups

Toolbox is a feature of SolidWorks that comes with a love/hate relationship for many users, mainly since its usage varies for everyone. Whether you use it alone, with a design group or need to share assemblies with Toolbox parts, setup is key to your success with this tool. I hope many of you have received your DVDs for 2009 by now and can utilize this new settings wizard that is accessible from within SolidWorks' options as well as from the START menu, Programs under SolidWorks Tools. Take the 5 minutes to set it up right and Toolbox will pay you back with productivity! ~Lou
