Joints (Macro connections) bolt orientation. Please fix the bolt orientation in connection macros to always orientating the head of the bolt to the secondary member, or provide the option to do so, rather than inverted and non-inverted bolts. The bolt lists are generated based on the bolt orientation; the head of the bolt being defining factor as to the item the bolt is assign. This is creating a lot of duplicate joints, just for the bolt orientation, but the software should have the intelligence to base the orientation on the user selection when creating the joints. (member/item 1 {main support member} member/item 2 the secondary member) Could the development team please fix the bolt orientation in all macros to always orientate the head of the bolt to the secondary member, rather than the cleat or Main supporting member. Also in some macros, the invert bolt option doesn't always work as intended, and reverts the bolts back to the cleat every time the joint box/macro is opened, and doesn’t update all connections within a joint group. Due to the software inconsistencies, (software bugs) this make it difficult to manage the bolts and their assigned members or assemblies when bolt are within a macro.
