I need some more types of ISO hex screws that are not currently available in TOOLBOX.
Is there an update for the screw library or website where I can add bolts? Or do I have to model them from scratch an add them?

SolidMech has a free library including several types of ISO hex head screws. What exactly are you looking for?
Another possibility is to look them up in McMaster-Carr's web site and see if they have models available.
I've never heard of a content update for TB. I don't use it, so I may have missed it.
In addition try

I would like to clarify that I am not a user of SolidWorks ToolBox. Though I still use the original CimLogic ToolBox (i.e. SolidWorks purchased CimLogic) for AutoCAD when necessary.
File type to use depends upon what you are trying to accomplish. For SolidWorks I prefer STEP or Parasolid and avoid IGES whenever possible. I'm not that faimiliar with using STL for anything but outputing for rapid prototype applications. The only time that I use DXF is for importing Autocad 2D files.
