I generate some parts from tool box. Then I did as as and modified the geometry. Now I put them in assembly I close when I open again solidworks will load the toolbox parts instead of the custom parts? How do I fix this it keeps destroying my assembly
That did it Thank you.
Hi,
I think it would be good if you set your custom parts to not be toolbox parts anymore.
See thread Part converts to toolbox component for futher details.

You're welcome. While that will fix the immediate problem, I agree with Daniel that it's a good idea to remove the Toolbox designation from Toolbox parts that you've edited and saved to a different location.
The toolbox will undo your modifications to toolbox components, so do a "save as" on the toolbox component you wish to modify and then deflag the part file using the setdocprop.exe. (setting the state to "NO" deflags the file, therefore making it a normal part file)
first time I hear of the deflag thing where can i get the setdocprop.exe? from
Look in: C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks\Toolbox\data utilities
If you have installed sw at default location.
thanx
