If for some reason the gtol.sym file is missing or you are unable to find it, you can copy this file from a different computer running SOLIDWORKS and paste it into the location listed above. By default, the gtol.sym ( Symbol Library File) is located:Ĭ:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS 20xx\lang\english\gtol.sym To correct this, first we need to find the Symbol Library File (gtol.sym) on the computer, then we need to update the mapping within SOLIDWORKS to look to this location. Since SOLIDWORKS is still pointing to a folder that no longer exists, it cannot find the Symbol Library File it needs to display the diameter symbol (for instance) and then displays the incorrect syntax. Sometimes we see that after an upgrade, the File Locations on the computer are still pointing to the previous version folder location that has since been upgraded (and removed). So how did this happen and how can this be fixed? SOLIDWORKS has many different paths/file locations for many different items within the software: one of which is a Symbol Library File. Symbols that once showed up correctly, now appear as a short description/syntax. When SOLIDWORKS has been recently updated to a newer release, sometimes we receive questions about symbols not showing up correctly (most commonly, the diameter symbol).
