Once it is done, repoint your SOLIDWORKS toolbox location to this Data folder by loading up SOLIDWORKS and heading to your Options > System Options > Hole Wizard/Toolbox.
This may take a couple of minutes to update all of your toolbox files. ( C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\Toolbox\lang\English\swbrowser.sldedb) Step 5: UpdateĬlick the Update button at the bottom of the window and the updater should begin running. In the “Database to Update” field, ensure that the location in the box is set to the correct location found in Step 2. Right-click on it, and choose to Run as Administrator. This will allow changes to be made to this file which is what we’re about to do.īrowse to ‘C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\Toolbox\data utilities’ and find the executable named “UpdateBrowserData.exe”. sldedb” that you will have to right-click on, select Properties, and be sure that the file is not set to Read Only. Within this folder, there will be a file named “ swbrowser.
Navigate to the following location, ‘C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\Toolbox\lang\English’. Now that the backup has been created, we can begin the process of manually updating your toolbox. Right-click on the SOLIDWORKS Data folder and hit Copy, and then right-click in the same folder (or on your Desktop if you prefer) and choose to Paste it. The entire toolbox folder, by default, is named “SOLIDWORKS Data” and can be found in the following location: ‘C:\SOLIDWORKS Data’. Your toolbox can typically be found in the default location in your C: Drive.
Let’s jump right into it and start by making a copy of your already existing toolbox version that you’d like to upgrade as a backup copy. Step 1: Make a copy of your existing Toolbox
All KOP models can be inserted directly into SOLIDWORKS from the Design Library by linking to your folder with Add File Location command.Have you upgraded to SOLIDWORKS 2019, but forgot to have SOLIDWORKS automatically update the toolbox? I’ll be going over exactly how to perform a manual update to the toolbox utilizing an adapter found within your SOLIDWORKS files that can do it all for you. There are additional components for FRC and FLL. We will produce a new KOP for the upcoming season. SOLIDWORKS produced an updated KOP from last year with smarter components containing electrical information. Teams can share their models on our SolidWorks Education Facebook page.
Teams also can register to attend their local SolidWorks User Group meeting. Just create a “Guest” Login account to access My SolidWorks.
