Thank you all!

Hello

You have to create your M16 screw, and then use a family of parts with an Excel spreadsheet attached to your length dimension.

Thank you but I prefer to use Toolbox, because all the dimensions are already filled in...  

Now it's going to be able to export all this in a part file.

You can export a Toolbox screw with all these configurations.

We then remove the Toolbox property from it with BatchProperties.

It is assigned custom properties with Toolbox Manager.

On the other hand, to retrieve the dimensions in a custom property I don't know...

One solution is to rename the part with only the size, and use batch properties to populate a custom property based on the filename...
