Hi all
I want to add a screw size to my assembly that doesn't exist in the Toolbox. A single BHC M6x40 screw
This type of screw is available in the toolbox but only up to a length of 30mm.
Since the screw sizes of Toolbox files are managed by configurations, it should be easy to add a size. Except that the files are read-only...
My question: How do I add a missing screw size within the Toolbox?
Thank you

Hello
You have to go through the tollbox editor to modify the bibs, be careful you can modify the properties but not the sizes, for this as for the materials you have to copy your screw so that it becomes personal and you can add your dimension.

Thank you
Indeed, I had never searched in the Toolbox editor.
The best thing to do is to create a personal file, copy and paste existing models and then add the missing sizes.
I fear the worst when I move on to future versions... Let's hope it follows as it should!
