Component library "complete fasteners"

3D Design Library
1

Hello

 

I just downloaded the "complete fasteners" component library but I don't know how to use it. It appears well in Solidworks 2015, I drag and drop but at no time am I offered to choose the size of the screw (diameter and length).

Thank you for enlightening me knowing that I am a beginner.

Hello, I think there are configurations on each part. In SolidWorks 2015, simply click on the part (in the design tree or the 3D) and a menu appears above the window. The first line of this menu indicates the name of the active configuration and you just have to change the line in this menu and then confirm.

 

Illustration for the menu:

Here is an overview of the tutorials available on the site that will allow you to understand the toolbox function

Have a nice day

I think the question is not about the toolbox but about a downloaded library.

yes but a library that you download becomes a toolbox of components

and you have to check it out for a few by your library

either you integrate it into the SW toolbosx or you create your own personal library which also becomes a toolbox

well that's my point of view as a neophyte ;-)

We have a personal library and we don't use the toolbox at all, so it can be two totally different things.

I agree 100%

better use your personal library

but nothing prevents you from making copies of the existing toolbox to create your own library

The toolbox tools that are the most penalizing for me but maybe I'm wrong is assistance for drilling

they are created via an elevation of matire via a revolution

and yet it's so simple for holes, tapping, countersinking, etc

I just wanted to notify you that he didn't mention toolbox, so your links are probably abstruse.

The poster @ yann.belucchi

will at least have something to understand

the operation of the log with its personal library and its  personal toolbox or not

and to understand how to use these tools

Among others with Smast Farseners the slide deposited

it at least has this merit of helping

Thank you for these answers, I see a little more clearly.

In fact I use a personal library and I was trying to insert a screw, for example, in a 3D representation instead of an assembly!!

I come from Mechanical desktop 2005 so the transition is not simple, it's not the same philosophy.
