      • None: All fasteners appear in a single toolbar. To see all available buttons use the >> button to expand it.
      • Separate toolbars: Fasteners are grouped in several toolbars. This is the default layout.

Usage

Fasteners can be attached or unattached. Attached fasteners have a ДаніBase Object, a circular edge, and their ДаніPlacement is dynamically linked to that object. The Fasteners Move command can be used to attach or detach a fastener.

Unattached fasteners

  1. Select the desired fastener by clicking its button or by picking it from the menu.
  2. A fastener is created at the origin.
  3. Optionally change the dimensions and other properties of the fastener:
    1. Select the fastener.
    2. Go to the Data tab of the Property editor.
    3. Change the required properties.

Attached fasteners

On the left two selected circular edges. On the right the attached fasteners.

  1. Specify if the selected holes are tap holes or pass holes by selecting Fasteners MatchTypeInner or Fasteners MatchTypeOuter respectively (not used for countersunk screws).
  2. Select one or more circular edges and/or faces with circular edges. For countersunk screws the top edge of the chamfered hole must be selected.
  3. Select the desired fastener by clicking its button or by picking it from the menu.
  4. A fastener is attached to each of the selected circular edges.
  5. The default dimensions of each fastener depend on the radius of the circular edge it is attached to. Countersunk screws are matched by their head diameter, other fasteners are matched by their shaft diameter.
  6. Optionally change the dimensions and other properties of the fasteners. See above.
  7. Fasteners that appear upside-down can be inverted with the Fasteners Flip command or by changing their ДаніInvert property.
  8. Optionally change the ДаніOffset property to create space between the fasteners and the edges they are attached to.
