EDITING HOLE SIZE DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE FASTENER SIZE

I have a model and I have used the hole tool to specify countersunk or counterbored holes of a specific size. I added fasteners using the auto size function. everything works great. if I edit the "hole" command in the timeline, the holes change, but the fasteners do not. If I right click on the insert fastener command in the timeline, there is no way to reselect the new hole size and I must manually change to the correct fastener. is this something that could be patched or does this already exist?

Hi JVAVRICEK,

 If inserted Fastener has available size, it should be updated - BUT only in case that you have enabled "Auto" option for Nominal Diameters (Size). For instance if you have a hole for M10 screw, you should have Nominal size "Auto (M10)" selected in the dialog. If you have selected "M10" it means, that you are not using Auto Update mechanism in the command.

If it's not the case, could you send me your dataset directly to roman.vesely@autodesk.com, please ? We will look at it.

Best regards
