Hello all.
I am unsure how to proceed. Two errors are preventing me from doing something that should be fairly straightforward.
I am trying to import screws from McMaster as components into a project.
However, the download button in the dialog page does not download and import the part. Nothing happens. I have another machine I work on that it functions fine there but that is an office machine with infrequent access.
No big deal, I figured I can download it manually and then import the STEP. The way to do that seems to be under the "import" menu. From there I can open the screw as its own file or I should be able to add it to my working file under the data panel.
Once again there is a "however". The data panel pop-out is a completely black box. Forum threads indicate that this is a semi-known issue and there seems to be a myriad possible reasons. I do not use the cloud storage and use a 3rd party file syncing utility so I just honestly never noticed this was happening.
Given this, how can I add a screw into a project? Is there a way to drag and drop the file or open the body or component in one tap and just paste it over into another tab? I feel like that must be a feature, but I cannot find a way to do it.
Please advise.
