Parametric bolt.

[LiveLover]

Hello!
I'm using MMaster-carr catalog and it is rather useful.
But can we drive screw length based on User Parameters?

I can imagine my own parametric bolt models and parameters in a master file.
Are there other possibilities? Substitute one component by a new one with very same topology preserving all the joints, etc?


I will be grateful for any suggestions! Links are highly welcome!

Thank you!

McMaster stuff - no joints.

I suspect that you need two capabilities that Fusion does not have today, but are both in development:  Configurations, and Replace Component.  Configurations will let you drive a "family" of bolts from a single design (resulting in different bolt lengths/threads, heads, etc - it would be up to you to determine what is configurable).  Replace Component will let you swap out one bolt family instance for another, preserving whatever references are possible to preserve.
