Autodrop for rivets!!!

[Patrick.Avenant]

Hi!

I am struggling with rivets!!i know rivets can't be Autodropped!!!! I use imate, but the problem comes when I want to put in more than one size on a part. When choosing "insert at all matching imates" the rivets cover all the other one's! For insance a 5mm rivet will insert into a 3mm hole. Is there a way to restrict a rivet so it will only fit one size hole?? (just like autodrop) Any help would be appreciated.

Still think inventor needs autodrop for rivets though!!

Thanks

Patrick,

Welcome to the forum.  Have you thought about creating/modeling the rivet.  Making an ipart out of it with all of the sizes you need then publishing it to the content center?  Seems to me this would be easier in the long run then what you are currently doing.
