Hello
While browsing the internet, I discovered a SW supplement:
I'll let you see for yourself: QuickInsert – Fastener Add-in for SolidWorks | TiSCAD.
Maybe in the MyCad tools...?..
What do you think?
Too expensive?
Useless?
Useful?

To the views with the link, it seems intuitive and intelligent, a toolbox with assembly elements, such as bolts, washers, circlips ..., showing live the possibility of being able to do!!
Sincerely, Pierre
Hello;
This sounds interesting as an add-on. Thanks for sharing @Julien_MARTIN .
I also think that it would be a plus in the MyCad tools (instead of their MyCadViewer? ... )
because personally, I don't want you to create a viewer only for the use of MyCad tools users knowing that Edrawing is provided with the Solidworks and Catia installs... and 3D modeler users must represent 90% of Mycad customers, if we could still share it...
I have a little crush on their ToolChecker:
…
All they have to do is wait for someone to get started to test their product...
in the 300€ / year (probably per position)
FYI: their macro to detect " forced " dimensions on a drawing.

Hello Julien-MARTIN,
Wow!!! Awesome!!! I don't know this very interesting version.
In terms of price, for a single person, it is expensive; For a group of users it does.
Thanks for the information.

AR.

There is a trial version that I test in the downloads tab:
Indeed, the Toolcheker works very well.

Certainly negotiable depending on the number of positions.

300€ for a company seems affordable to me. You save 10 hours in the year and you have largely reimbursed your license.
In view of the important development that needs to be done for this kind of software, it seems to me to be an affordable price, even if at first glance it can be cooling.
We then have to see if it's degressive for a large number of licenses (or not)
Maybe Visiativ will be able to draw inspiration from it to develop an equivalent software that is accessible free of charge via MyCADTools?
What do you think of @Coralie @fmarchand, to be offered internally at Visiativ in the software to be developed?

Thank you for being a Beta-tester 
, remember to give us a little feedback (without forgetting to specify your version of Solidworks).
A few questions, (if you have the time, the desire, and the patience):
Is it possible to modify and/or add custom properties to the proposed fasteners?
How much does an assembly gain weight (in bytes) with this solution.
What about the materials of the screws?
Is the geometry of the screws consistent with the ISO/DIN Standards? (because they tend to evolve over time)?
I ask these questions because I wouldn't want to end up with another " Solidworks Toolbox".
That said, I would like to thank ( 
) @sbadenis for the inclusion of Visiativ in the reflection of the creation of a similar tool included in the MycadTool suite... there is probably an interest in this type of tool (Solidworks Standard licenses do not have access to the Solidworks toolbox).

I imagine that the screw library is customizable (to be confirmed by our beta tester @Julien_MARTIN ? 
)
Edit: yes it's customizable (you just had to look better): 
In the customizable material overview, property...

The main interest I see, as a designer and assembler, is to know the list of tools necessary for assembly, and the accessories/hardware to have

@Alfoncpasmamob and especially to know if it is accessible and dismountable.
Which has never been trapped (travel not important enough or other problem of the same style

Indeed, it has already happened to me to have to make/modify tools to disassemble/reassemble certain parts without having too much space, agree with your remark,
between study and feasibility!!

Hello @Julien_MARTIN thank you for sharing.
The 14 days of the trial version is " 14 days whether we use it or not " or " 14 days of use "?

Hello
For your information, Visiativ has already made a lot of standardized parts and profiles.
Downloadable for those who have the subscription.
This kind of product can be interesting if you are on your own and without means, but as soon as you have to enter article codes to be able to manage the parts (stock, CAPM...) this kind of tool loses interest since it has to be configured → comes back at the same time as retrieval/modify libraries.
The only cool thing I see is rather their integration of the tools (not well standardized and more difficult to find/redesign). Still, your workshop must use the same brands as what they have designed...

This is true but be careful, a large part is not up to date with the latest ones
Standards... I take back what has just been said, it seems that Visiativ no longer offers their packs of 3D elements for download (at least I haven't found them), only the access to platforms such as Padlock and Tracepart remains.
Unfortunately, this is also true... too true.

Even if the tools are different, it already allows you to see if you are completely in the cabbage or not.
Possibly the tools can be customized (On the video or notice the 2 length of pan for the allen key for example.
And there is also the ease of putting screws + washers and replacing them with another model, and this point is not to be neglected and seems to me very interesting and much more intuitive than the manual method with the screws downloaded and modified.
Not using Facom should be illegal!
FYI, Tiscad is working on making their ToolChecker usable on existing libraries. I presume an automatic addition of markings on screws, washers...
