Fastening Feature Toolbar Problem

Taylor Atteberry Apr 23, 2013 10:58 AM

Every now and then when solidworks is restarted or booted up the Fastening Feature toolbar always pops up in one of my shortcut bars. I have gone into customize and made sure that under toolbars that Fastening features is not checked. Somehow it still keeps poping up. I am on a network licience, if that has anything to do with it.

If anyone has any ideas of why it is doing that, let me know!

Thanks,

Taylor

I got the same problem, and it happened again. I've done a google search for a solution before, but found this thread this time. So I registered to let it be known I got it too.

  For two weeks I didn't see it...
  
  And now it's popping up every hour.

    Updated to 2014 a while ago, and that stupid Fastening Feature is still popping up. Ugh.

      It happens to me sometimes as well. It's never been consistent enough for me to pinpoint what might be causing it though.

Still happening here. It was gone for a month or so. Suddenly today it's every few minutes. Really, really annoying. Any solutions?

I just want to be counted as another user who is experiencing this problem. It's a floating toolbar, since I never use it I've not docked it to an edge of the screen.

For me it doesn't happen when I start SolidWorks, it happens when I open a file in SolidWorks. When I open a file it just appears. It doesn't happen every single time I open a file, but it does happen pretty often. Even if I have already opened a file. For instance, this morning I started up SolidWorks and no Fastening Feature toobar. I then opened an assembly and the toolbar appeared. So I click the red X and close it. A few minutes later I right click on a part in the assembly and choose to open the part from the context menu. When the part opens the toobar appears again, and I have to close it again.

I just find it annoying, so I've looked around the internet and I've only found this one thread that mentions the problem, and no solutions so far....
