Hi, our company has just switched to Solidworks. As we are new users, we would like to be benefited with experience of other users. While configuring Toolbox there is an option in User settings > Files which says Create configuration or Create Parts or Create Parts on Ctrl-Drag. Which option should we select?
We have a shared toolbox (on server) and we are not using PDM.
Thanks in advance
here are to pdf's to look at

Hi Brian,
In response to my question, I understand that you suggest to select `Create Part' option (as described in Exercise 4). Can you explain the pros and cons of this over other options.
One more question, in Exercise 6 (while inserting custom component) a part file with multiple configurations was inserted (not different parts), why is it so?
??
Cant really answer your questions.
those pdf's were made by some one from solidworks that posted them.
I thought they might give you some insight to what you were looking for.
Thank you for teach

I would create a (external) part only if I needed to manufacture the part.
If my model is for presentation or simulation only, then a configuration (virtual part) would suffice, and avoid unnecessary files.
