AN Hardware in Content Center

[Anonymous]

Hello -

I'm a relatively new Inventor user, so my question may be rather basic. Most of the work I do uses AN series hardware - bolts, washers, nuts, nutplates, rivets etc. I suppose most would consider that to be aircraft hardware, although it can have many uses. I see that there are many different styles of hardware in the Content Center, but no AN spec hardware. I could of course use another bolt that is similar just for design, but since I'd really like to use the BOM in the future, it would really be best to synch up the hardware I use with the Content Center. What's the best way to go about doing this?

Thanks!

If you are on 2009 or 2010, it's relatively easy to create your own custom
content. Especially for BOM output. Here's a link for some tutorials.

I'm on 2009 - I'll check out those tutorials and see if I can create the hardware I need. Thanks!
