As many have posted, we use a lot of NAS/MS fasteners, etc.which must be done to a certain spec and have a certain partnumber- not typically Industrial.

For things like o-rings, I had worked out a way to use the toolboxto configure a model aproximately, save it off as a part (afterplacement in an assembly), then run the sldsetdocprop.exe utilityto turn off the toolbox "switch" and finalize the details - it usedto be a fast way to model and change, etc.

Problem is that the sldsetdocprop tool seems to have stoppedworking on my files and I cannot get them to check into theWorkgroup PDM vault.

I know that I could allow toolbox parts to be checked in throughthe PDMW Admin, but I do not want to mix toolbox parts into ourstuff directly (by accident) by either myself or others.

I cannot find anyway to delete the toolbox "link" from the vault -except thinking that I might have to delete the whole assembly thatcontains any of these parts(not good at all, maybe not evenpossible - but might rid the reference on the vault side and thensee the parts as parts again).

I am guessing that I might have to re-construct these from scratchnow.SolidworksWorkgroup Pdm
