The Configure Data dialog box appears.
On the Settings tab, set the following options.
An administrator creates a password and sets permissions for various Toolbox functions. Other users can view, but not modify, the restricted functions without the administrative password.
Password. Click Create/Change to create a password. The next time you open the Configure Data dialog box, click Login and enter the password to gain change access.
You enter a secret question when you add a password. If you forget your password, the application prompts you with your secret question. If you answer correctly, you are given the password.
Allow editing of Content. When cleared, the data on the Content tab is view-only.
Allow editing of Properties. When cleared, the options on the Properties tab are view-only.
Allow adding of parts to Toolbox. When cleared, you cannot add parts to the library of Toolbox components.
Allow editing of Favorites. When cleared, you cannot add or change Favorites in the Toolbox PropertyManager.
Settings:
Specify how settings are applied in a multi-user environment.
Set separately for each user. Options on the Settings tab are set separately for each user.
Allow user to change. Users are allowed to make changes to their own settings.
Set the same for all users. Options on the Settings tab are set globally for all users.
Smart Fasteners:
Specify how Smart Fasteners settings are applied in a multi-user environment.
Set separately for each user. Options on the Smart Fasteners tab are set separately for each user.
Allow user to change. Users are allowed to make changes to their own settings.
Set the same for all users. Options on the Smart Fasteners tab are set globally for all users.
Specify what happens when you drag a part from the Toolbox Browser into an assembly:
Create Configurations. A configuration is added to a master part file each time you use a new size of a particular fastener.
Create Parts. An individual part file is created each time you use a new size of a particular fastener.
Create Parts on Ctrl-Drag. An individual part file is created if you Ctrl-drag the fastener from the Toolbox Browser. A configuration is added to the master part file if you use a standard drag.
Create Parts in this folder. Specify the folder for parts created when you select Create Parts or Create Parts on Ctrl-Drag.
Specify how SolidWorks Toolbox interacts with read-only documents.
Always change read-only status of document before writing. SolidWorks Toolbox temporarily overwrites the read-only attribute of a file to make a change. An example of a change is the creation of a new configuration for a different size fastener. After a change is done, SolidWorks Toolbox resets the file attribute to read-only. This option allows multiple users to make changes to the same document because write access occurs briefly during the change. Documents that are read-only because of user rights or security settings in your operating system are not affected.
Error when writing to a read-only document. SolidWorks Toolbox cannot change read-only documents; an error message appears.
You can create more than one configuration of a part in the SolidWorks Toolbox database with the same part number if the parts are geometrically equal. For example, you might want to change the value of a custom property but retain the same part number in the SolidWorks Toolbox database because geometry is unchanged.
Allow duplicate part numbers for geometrically equal components. Allow more than one part in the SolidWorks Toolbox database with the same part number.
