Now that we have the right file and setting selected, we need to click “Update Status” to make the changes permanent. This is the setting that breaks the link. In the dialog box that’s opened, set “Property state” to “No.” Now, select “Add Files…” and browse to the part file you created. Now we need to tell SOLIDWORKS that this is OUR part. A typical file path will look something like this: “C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp 2020\SOLIDWORKS\Toolbox\data utilities.” When you find it, right-click on it and select “Run as administrator.” Run the SOLIDWORKS Executable “sldsetdocprop.exe”īrowse to the \toolbox\data utilities folder and locate the executable file “sldsetdocprop.exe”.

Want to create a custom part from a Toolbox item, but SOLIDWORKSis still showing the toolbox flag in the Feature Tree? That’s because it’s still linked to the Toolbox part! Here’s how to permanently break that link and dissociate it from the original file.īefore making any changes to the part, we need to save it.
