This is disappointing in many respects because if you have existing Huge Screws problems, you
will continue to have them until you rebuild the assembly or manually repair the configurations. It
is doubly disappointing because the information needed to re-create the correct configuration has
always been stored in the assembly — the filename and the configuration name are enough — but
SolidWorks has missed an opportunity to really fix this problem.I provide some recommendations before the tutorial at the end of this chapter if you are still inter-
ested in using Toolbox.Toolbox organization
Toolbox parts can be organized in a number of ways. The raw parts are organized as follows:l Standard and Units (for example, ANSI Inch or ANSI Metric; most standards do not

l Hardware Type (such as bearings, bolts, and bushings).
