What is happening is when you create a bolt on computer A it is using the toolbox part configuration data from computer A. The configurations of the toolbox parts are created when you need a new size. So when you take your parts to computer B, this configuration is not available. Do you have these networked or are they standalone PCs. If they are standalone, you'll need to copy the toolbox parts from computer A to computer B. If you are networked, try to share the toolbox data from one common computer. Look on SW websight for the proper way to share the toolbox data.
