Hmm...two additional follow-ons:
1. Your suggestion to disable the standard in Toolbox configure browser made the standard disabled in Hole Wizard as well. So far as I understand it, there's no way to enable this standard exclusively for Hole Wizard, n'est-ce pas?
2. Is there some way to make...
Thanks for the help! I've edited as you suggest.
Follow-on question:
If I want to share these modifications with buddies on my network, is there a file I can copy over one of their files or...even better, store this file on the server and we all point our SolidWorks clients at it?
DesignSmith wrote that Toolbox standards can be edited to adjust hole wizard standards.
We use roll taps here rather than cutting taps and this makes the tapdrill different. Can one change the default tapdrill for hole wizard?

3D Content Central looks to have all the content of SW's Model Library but not vice versa. Is this true?
These have everything except the fasteners so I'm looking forward to EdDanzer's offer of help.
I've read through thread559-93913 which discusses updating SolidWorks and running the Conversion Wizard to update part, assembly, and drawing files.
Is there a best practice to update files which are checked into PDM/Works?

Is there a best practice to update files which are checked into PDM/Works?
If one has to check out and check back in manually, this could get painful.
Even if there's an automatic method in the conversion wizard, this will get messy. Bumping revision numbers may confuse BOM's for active products.
I most like EdDanzer's suggestion to make a library of fasteners based on as few parts as possible so fasteners can be substituted without losing mates.
I'm just getting started with Toolbox and I'm setting up the environment for myself and two other engineers and making this library seems like...

I think I can by checking in the non-SW document...
After extensive research, I purchased the Nvidia Quadro FX500 $285 (inc shipping) this past December from
http://www.compuadds.com/product.asp?prodcode=D-VCQFX500BLK
I discovered that Nvidia Quadro are the most supported on SW (i.e. least likely to cause problems). This is not to say there...
/Program Files/SolidWorks/lang/english/calloutformat.txt is the "HoleWizard Callout Format Definition File". I'm using Toolbox to configure a screw (not a hole). I don't think Toolbox uses this configuration file.
Note: I don't want to make all screws UNF...just some of the time.
I didn't mean a SolidWorks BOM filetype...I'm using an MSWord document...or any arbitrary file type...that you want to make a "parent" in the reference tree to a preexisting branch or node.
So far as I can tell, PDM/Works only supports making a new document the "child" of a preexisting node
I have a SW assembly already in the PDM/Works vault.
I want to add a new BOM document (MS Word) which will be the "master document". As such, the SW assembly should refer to it. I can't figure out how to make an assembly already in the vault refer to a new file without deleting it from the vault...
