Hi
I'm generating spur gears using the toolbox without and difficulty. The file, located in Solidworks Data - Copied Parts, is read only so i save it to my project file.
I then need to modify it by, for example, modifying the root of the tooth and adding spokes. This i can also do successfully saving it in my project file.
I create an assembly with a number of modified gears and all is well.
If i close Solidworks, re-start it and open the assembly and rebuild the assembly it changes the gears from the modified version to the origanal unmodified gear in the copied parts file. However, if i save the modified gears in the copied parts folder then all is well.
Is there a way of preventing the assembly from reverting to the original toolbox generated gear and use the modified one stored in my project folder?
