Save bolted connection as typical

Save bolted connection as typical

Most of my bolted connections use the exact same components - hex head bolt, lock washer or plain washer, and hex nut. Every now and then I have something different, but 95% of the time it is the same thing. Rather than clicking through and selecting these components every time, it would be fantastic if there was a checkbox in the Bolted Connection Design Accelerator to "Save connection as typical" and it would save the connection style for future use (ideally you can use it in every project). You could name the connection so all you have to do is select it from a dropdown list later and select your holes and diameter with start and stop planes. This can speed up bolted connections significantly.
