Improper working of "Insert McMaster-Carr Component" feature

bharat.borate.27 — Sun, 30 Jan 2022 15:55:34 GMT

Hello everyone!
Hope you all are doing well and staying safe...

For the last few days, I'm observing that the "Insert McMaster-Carr Component" feature is not working properly. Wrong components are getting inserted instead of the ones I'm selecting to insert. I've also attached the screen recording of the same below, for reference.

I would like to hear if everyone's facing the same problem and if anyone knows the reason or has any solution.

Best,

Yes, I've been experiencing this too but haven't had a chance to do a screencast and post it. I was trying to insert an M3 nut but it what was being inserted was a hex socket head cap screw. When I tried to insert a hex socket head cap screw it wanted to insert an oil impregnated plain bearing (IIRC).

Yes everyone is experiencing this issue. I would use the McMaster-Carr website in the meantime. Takes a couple of extra clicks but if you need it....

@jhackney1972 If everyone is experiencing it, are you? Is there any pattern, like it's inserting previously inserted parts, or anything else you can imagine?

In my case it seems to be that it's always the same incorrect part that gets substituted for any particular part in the catalogue. In other words if I try to insert a particular M3 nut it's always the same Hex Socket head screw that gets substituted and if I try to insert a particular M3 hex socket head screw it's always the same oil impregnated bush that comes in. I have not inserted either of these components previously. I've not investigated this any further myself.

I hope this helps.

Confirming: Is everyone on macOS? Anyone with windows seeing the issue?

According to this thread, the issue was with McMaster-Carr, and they have fixed it. Please try again.
