Toolbox is ok, but it is much easier creating your own product library.. I think it is pretty stable today, from what I hear, but there was an update a few years ago that really messed things up and I vowed then I'll never ever use it again. Might eat my words someday, but create a part with a design table and it works very similar to the Toolbox and you can use your own custom properties instead of spending a lot of time changing the SW Toolbox Custom Properties...
Yap i agree with you John i have also a custom library but that is for my commercial SW, but i was recently invited as a part time SW instructor so i use this for my student.
