Custom material for inserted fasteners?

[MDillehayX95M4]

Is there a way to make custom material types for inserted fasteners? For steel you have the options for  Grade 16, 2H, 4, 6, 7, and 8.

I need a list of ASTM grades such as A325 and A490. Are there plans to expand the material type or allow us to create custom materials so we can do it ourselves? Or am I missing how to do it?

I could just make a fastener as a component and do it that way, but that would wreck work flow when having to align everything into place 1 by one when you have hundreds of bolts to place, not including the washers and nuts.

Adding the functionality to place mcmaster carr parts the same way you can place fasteners by clicking one spot just to have multiples populate, would absolutely resolve this issue by drastically improving the relate work flow.

Hi @MDillehayX95M4,

I see your point. Unfortunately we are not far enough for that. Currently it is read-only library, so with fixed lists. Data customization is in plan.
