Pins as Bolts Workaround

Hi,

 

i am looking for a way to generate standard pins, by using the AS tool for screws, anchors, holes etc.

 

Problem is, i cant generate a screaw without the head. It always wants some details about the dimensions etc..

At the moment i need to insert every pin as special part. This method is not good in my opinion. The Pin and the hole have to be intelligent connected, always.

 

Did somebody found a good method to insert intelligent pins in AS? All i need is a standard round object connected to the hole and with BOM usability.

Hi,

 

We can use any bolt, No Nut No Washer:

The head diameter is equal to the shank diameter.

 

This is the same bolt with nut and washer, and no head:

If it is made of steel, I can model it and detail it.
