A Quick Reference for SolidWorks Administrators

CAD administrators and power users repeatedly need the same small set of facts: where SolidWorks stores its settings, which registry keys hold performance and licensing data, and which toolbox standards are current. This page keeps those notes in one searchable place. Use Ctrl+F to jump to a keyword such as “registry”, “toolbox”, or “backup”, then copy the path or command you need straight from the page.

Registry Paths and Settings Backup

SolidWorks writes user settings, performance options, license serial numbers, and PDMWorks database links into the Windows registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\SolidWorks. The page lists the commonly inspected keys so you can verify an installation or chase a configuration problem. Before you change anything, back up your settings with the vendor’s copyoptwiz.exe tool - a saved copy lets you restore a clean configuration after any edit.

Toolbox Standards: Old DIN vs Current ISO

SolidWorks Toolbox ships with historical DIN parts whose parent standards have since been superseded by EN ISO equivalents - for example DIN 934 hex nuts became ISO 4032, and DIN 912 socket head cap screws became ISO 4762. The page lists these outdated DIN entries next to the current designation so you can decide whether to keep a legacy part, replace it with the ISO version in the Toolbox, or mark it as a customized part for your library.

Windows Commands for Engineers

A short set of Windows commands covers the everyday cleanup tasks around a CAD workstation: taskkill closes hung SolidWorks processes by name so you can relaunch the application, and launching SLDWORKS.exe with the /m switch runs a macro from the command line without opening the full interface first. These commands are safe to run from an administrator command prompt when the main application is closed.
