There are multiple reasons you may want to add a file location, so we’re not going into that here. Regardless of what file locations you’re trying to add, the steps will be similar:

  1. Go to [Settings System Options File Locations]
  2. From the dropdown, select the type of folder you’d like to add (probably Document Templates or Weldment Sketches)
  3. Click “Add…”, then in the pop-up find whichever folder you’d like to add to the list, then click “Select Folder”
  4. Click OK in the settings window and Yes if a message pops up asking to change your search path

To start, please add:

  • “4476 SolidWorks Templates” - add as a “BOM Templates” folder
  • “4476 SolidWorks Templates” - add as a “Document Templates” folder
  • “4476 SolidWorks Templates” - add as a “Custom Property Files” folder (the existing file location must be deleted first)
  • “4476 SolidWorks Templates” - add as a “Hole Wizard Favorites Database” folder
  • “4476 SolidWorks Templates” - add as a “Material Database” folder
  • “Weldment Sketches” - add as a “Weldment Profiles” folder
