    1. Tools → Add-Ins → Activate Solidworks Toolbox Library and Solidworks Toolbox Utilities on start up.
  2. Make sure that you've downloaded the latest push from GrabCad.

  3. Back up and rename your local Solidworks Data file. This file is typically stored in C:/SOLIDWORKS Data/. I renamed mine to "SOLIDWORKS Data (Local)", but as long as its not named "SOLIDWORKS Data" anything is fine!


  4. Open the the General System Options by clicking the Cog icon.


  5. Click the [...] icon to change the Hole Wizard and Toolbox folder. The shared toolbox folder is the "SOLIDWORKS Data" folder in /Mars Rover 2020 2022 Mechanical/Documentation/Toolbox Database/.

    2. Also, while you are here check the box to lock concentric mates for Toolbox components (smile).
