I currently don't use toolbox for my hardware. Being that I workfor a Defense Contractor, I'm required to use mil-spec hardware forall applications. I did notice that there is a MIL feature in thetoolbox. But It looks like I have to manually type my MS partnumbers one at a time. Can somebody tell me if there is a easierway to do this?
Exporting and Importing a Configuration List
You can export a configuration list to a Microsoft® Excelfile, type part numbers in the file, and then import the editedfile into SolidWorks Toolbox.
To export and import a configuration list:
On the 2 - Customize Hardware page, select an individual fastener.
Follow the steps in Customizing Hardware to add custom propertiesand reduce the length of the configuration list.
At the upper right of the configuration list, click Import/Exportand select Export Data.
Select a location for the spreadsheet file and click OK.
In Microsoft Excel, open the spreadsheet.
In the row for each configuration, type part numbers, descriptions,and comments in the appropriate columns.
Do not change other values or add columns. The other propertyvalues must not change for the import to succeed.
Save and close the spreadsheet.
In SolidWorks Toolbox, on the Customize Hardware page, clickImport/Export and select Import Data.
Browse to the spreadsheet file and click OK.SolidworksToolbox
