  1. Does anyone where the path to the toolbox is defined.

  3. Thanks,

    Can a SW2007 install and a SW2006 install use the same instance of toolbox?

    no.

    remember, if you save a part (toolbox) in 2007, 2006 will be unable to open.

  5. Never mind, figured out that you cannot.

  6. Thanks,

    The reason this came up was I just recently did an install of 2007 keeeping
    2006 on my system and the install changed the path location of the toolbox
    to some network drive location for the 2006 version, where the toolbox files
    did not exist. It also appended 'backup' to the original file folder under
    comman files>solidworks and seems to have changed the version of the
    toolbox.mdb file so it no longer works.

    The files are still available under the program files>solidworks directory
    so all is ok with a bit of hairpulling.
