I used to download mine from McMaster-Carr in the Solidworks format and bring them into Inventor.  They needed minor contraining, but worked fine.

HI... all

in the " Hardware " sit dont have almost nothing about U bolts.

grab cad... also almost nothing...

 

But in MCmaster.... a lot... and very very usefull stuff...

 

but i did not understand very well what you mean about the mirror... can you explain please...  i am guessing that the mirror that you are refering to,  is not the mirror tool of inventor..  or is it ??

 

 

Thx...

For the time it takes to create two sketches each on different work planes and sweep, it takes less time to create than to search.

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file

McMaster-Carr is a great resource and I use them all the time, we also buy a lot from them.

 

BUT their models tend to have way more detail than required and a U-Bolt would be a prime example. The file you will download will be quite large. No trouble in a small assembly but in a large one with a lot of their parts the large files can cause a performance loss.

I didn't say "Mirror" , I said "Minor".  In reference to constraining.  I found when I downloaded the U-Bolts from MMC that the nuts free floated and needed to be contrained.  That is what I was refering to.
