I have problem with solidworks toolbox. I had Solidworks 2011 on my pc and I unistalled it and install version 2012 on pc. So I've created many square tube with version 2011 for example 70x70x3.2*1000 , but know when I open assembly in 2012 version it changes to "square tube_iso". how can I fix this problem? Because I can not replace each part with right one.
thanks a lot

Farid,
The square tubes you created were saved as a file in one of your 2011 folders. If you look under system options / file locations and then weldment profiles it will show you the path for your 2012 setup. The profiles you created will most likely be in a similar location under the 2011 directory structure. A simple uninstall of solidworks does not usually delete any folders or files that have been added to the structure so they will most likely be there. You can make these files available by copying them into the 2012 file location.
sorry but I can not understand. please explain more.did you see the picture? I saved each square tube in assembly Folder but....

Each of the profiles you created are stored as an individual file and saved in the default solidworks location unless you have specified another. Attached picture shows my file location and a couple of extra folders and files that I added to my setup. Your top level folder names will be a bit different since I rename data folders when installing solidworks.
Farid,
Welcome to the forum. If you have saved toolbox parts in a different location under a different name, then I think I can help. Go to Tools > Options > System Options > Hole Wizard/Toolbox. Uncheck the box for "Make this folder the default search location for Toolbox components".
