I've used the toolbox to make a spur gear. I adapted it to my own specifications and also made a hole in it, so it can be fastened. I saved the gear in the same folder as the assembly. Whenever I open the assembly it doesn't use my gear but the standard gear from the toolbox. I want my adapted gear and not the one from the toolbox. Can anybody tell me why this is happening?

Dave is correct on how to remove the TB identification from a part. Be aware that TB gears are not true involute profiles, but very crude representations of gear teeth.

Removing the Toolbox designation will keep it from happening in the future, but you asked why it's happening. It's because you have this option selected. Clear that checkbox and it should stop, even if you don't remove the Toolbox designation.
